Last year 11.6 million people were vicitms of identity fruad. As a result, over 18 billion dollars was lost. Most of us have some concerns about identity fraud and we want to protect ourselves – but where to begin? Reading some facts about identity fraud have made me more concerned than I was previously.
Did you know that of identity fraud victims…
6.6% are smartphone users?
6.8% are social media users who click on the applications?
8.2% are social media users who have “checked in” using smartphone GPS
10.1% are linkedin users
The average person who has their identity stolen loses $1513?
That it takes .000224 seconds for a professional hacker to “break” a password that uses 6 characters and no symbols? This was particularly alarming for me because I tend to use short, simple passwords. How hack friendly is your password?
