How many people are affected by identity theft?
More than 15 million Americans have experienced identity fraud and theft, with $16 billion stolen from their wallets, banking and credit accounts, personal computers, mobile phones, and even social media accounts.3
Although people between the ages of 25- 64 experience the highest rate of identity theft, no one is safe, not even children.4
In fact, nearly 1 million children have been victims of identity theft since 2011.5
What can you do to prevent identity theft?
While there's no way to stop identity theft from happening entirely, there are steps you can take to help prevent it. To get started:
1. Monitor your credit reports: Check your report from all major bureaus – Experian®, Equifax® and TransUnion®, for fraudulent activity.
2. Monitoryourbankaccounts:Checkfor suspicious activity. If you spot something, address it immediately.
