Cyber Identity Theft Is A Growing Problem

Cyber identity theft is a growing concern. In the old days there was a concern of a house being broken into and physicaly robbed, now thieves can come in through the computer. People who indulge in this type of activity have many ways at their disposal.

One of the most recent tactics even has a name, it is called phishing(fishing). The internet thief sends an e-mail that appears to have come from a legitimate site. Usually a bank or financial institution. Such as Citibank, eBay, Best Buy or PayPal to name a few. I get e-mails from PayPal frequently claiming that there is a problem with my account and it must be resolved immediately.

They will provide a link in the e-mail to their scam site. Never ever hit a link that is in this type of e-mail. Open a new browser window and type the URL of your financial institution if you think there may be a problem. Chances are exteremly good everything with your account will be fine. It is most likely just a lure to get you to hit their link.

This is a pretty simple trick but it is very effective. Education is the best defense, learn as much as you can about cyber identity theft.
