Chances are, your ID is already out there.
Did you know buying, selling, or otherwise possessing your personal information is not illegal...
...and it’s certainly not identity theft? You have given out your personal information countless times to hospitals, schools, phone companies, retailers, mortgage companies, etc. And now it’s out there for any driven thief. Picking pockets or going through mailboxes is kids stuff. Cyber-thieves have all the information they need to sell your personal information to anyone who wants to hide. Hackers often get your personal data over the internet or through breaches, and for every breach that is detected – hundreds go unnoticed. For example, the TJ Maxx breach affected 94 Million Americans and it didn’t surface for two years! In the past 24 months, 223,000,000 personal records have been exposed just through those breaches that have been discovered.
