Largest Victims of Identify Theft are Young People |
Source: Gannett News Service 08/11/2006
The Federal Trade Commission reports that in 2005 Americans ages 18 to 24 made more than 69,000 identity theft complaints -- more than any other age group. Here are 10 ways students can prevent identity theft and the headaches that come with it.
- Watch what you blog. Safe blogging means not posting any personally identifiable information other than your first name.
- Don't get caught in a phishing net. Phishers try to steal your personal information by misdirecting you to a counterfeit Web page that looks identical to one you might use to pay a credit card bill or check your cell phone minutes.
- Keep security software up to date. To stay safe, students should update their security software at least once a week.
- Avoid sharing your computer and online services. Anyone who has your Internet access or e-mail passwords can pretend they're you and engage in illegal activities online.
- Use caution when answering online queries.
- Watch out for Wi-Fi. University Wi-Fi networks have varying degrees of security.
- Protect yourself by protecting your computer. Turn on a feature that prompts you to enter a password when exiting a screen saver or booting up your computer.
- Get creative with passwords. Many people have passwords that are easy to guess.
- Consider state-of-the-art security hardware, like fingerprint scanners.
- Don't download just anything. Spyware, Trojans and other malicious programs are sometimes hidden in software.
