Internet Security : Identity Theft and Fraud

Identity theft has been an issue not onlyto those big and powerful companies but including us normal people.
Since we are now in the internet age where one information could be access and shared in an instant.
This may be a good news for us because it brings us ease of accessing our information in a breeze.
It also means that it will expedite the time our information will be processed. But this leap of technology is a double edge sword, because it will also mean that our private information is easily or can be easily accessed and stolen.
This was proven by some many hackers, more particularly by Kevin Mitnick and many more. Banks and multinational companies bend on their knees by this kind of attacks because as what those hackers say, the weakest link in IT Security are people.
We are on a paradigm shift in securing our identity and defense against fraud.

There are may kind of Identity Theft and Fraud attacks and according to
Identity Theft Resource Center dentity theft is sub-divided into four categories:

• Financial Identity Theft (using another's identity to obtain goods and services)
• Criminal Identity Theft (posing as another when apprehended for a crime)
• Identity Cloning (using another's information to assume his or her identity in daily life)
• Business/Commercial Identity Theft (using another's business name to obtain credit)

Nowadays its a must and a necessity that we should safeguard our identity and privacy and there are many companies that would do this for you.
