Identation theft victims lost more than $ 10 billion in 2024

Las Vegas, Nev. (FOX5) – Federal Trade Commission received more than one million reports of identity theft last year.

These victims lost more than $ 10 billion together. Fox5 relieves the ID theft consciousness week with advice on protecting information.

FTC prompts account holders to protect all documents with sensitive information. Set birth certificates, social security cards and financial reports in a safe place.

Strime documents before throwing them away.

Do not give social security number to someone calling, texts or e -mail messages. Criminals can mimic the government, banking or company representative to try to get information.

Real agents will not ask for your full social security number, it is a scam.

Protect information online and on phones with difficulty guessing passwords. Ass Multi-Factor Authentication for extra security on accounts that offer it.
