“ID Theft Attacks” and “Shark Attacks” Have Some Things in Common
“Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water”… remember that tag line from the movie JAWS? Well the world as we know it is becoming filled with more and more sharks and your identity is at risk from attack.
In 2011 there was a 67% increase over 2010 in the number of data breach notices received by Americans from businesses and financial institutions. What does that mean to SmartFem members? There are more and more sharks entering the world and your chances of an ID theft attack are increasing at an alarming rate…there was a 13% increase in the number of Americans attacked in 2011.
Identity theft is viewed similarly to a shark attack because: a) it is a horrifying experience that can ruin your life; b) no one seems to think it will every really happen to them; and c) everyone wishes they had taken simple precautions to avoid letting the shark get the best of them. And we are not just talking about credit card fraud.
Unfortunately, according to the most powerful law enforcement people, an attack from identity thieves is less a matter of IF it will happen, but more like WHEN it will happen to anyone. The cyber-chief of the FBI has stated that when it comes to identity theft/fraud and data breaches…“…you can never get ahead, never become secure, never have a reasonable expectation of privacy or security…”. Technology is fostering too many new ways for ID thieves to get your identity and run with it. Not even massive amounts of credit monitoring services can guarantee the prevention of ID theft.
