I'm getting ready to answer questions about protecting you, your kids from identity theft. @
TheOnlineMom
#
KasperskyMoms
#
There are many ways to have your identity stolen. #
KasperskyMoms
#
Most common ways are still theft – stolen wallet, credit card, or a relative misusing your identity. #
KasperskyMoms
#
But there are online threats as well. #
KasperskyMoms
#
And hacks of merchants, credit card processors, retailers (TJX is one example). #
KasperskyMoms
#
Also malicious programs. Trojan horse, keylogger, etc. can steal info to access online bank accounts, credit card accts, etc. #
KasperskyMoms
#
So…many ways to become a victim these days. It can be hard to know if you've been victimized. #
KasperskyMoms
#
There are many more identities stolen than there are victims of identity theft – an oversupply problem. #
KasperskyMoms
#
You would have to authorize a cc. for a 13 year old. Did you see a record of the cc. company doing a credit inquiry on her? #
KasperskyMoms
#
If not, maybe contact the company and ask 'what's up?' #
KasperskyMoms
#
Yes – online accounts as well: user names and PINs for any online services. #
KasperskyMoms
#
Even low value services (Netflix vs. Bank of America, say) can yield credit card numbers and other personal info. #
KasperskyMoms
#
might sell blocks of stolen credit card numbers others might sell account access to banks, paypal, amazon, itunes, etc.. #
KasperskyMoms
#
A bad economy can also exacerbate the id theft problem – we've seen job seekers targeted by id thieves.

re: monitoring use of online info… #
KasperskyMoms
#
i recommend a credit monitoring service. that can spot attempts to open new accounts in your name. #
KasperskyMoms
#
if your information has been exposed in a data breach, the company should contact you and offer id theft protection. #
KasperskyMoms
#
online – it can be more difficult. #
KasperskyMoms
#
stolen data is spread all over the place and not correlated. plus the good guys aren't necessarily looking for it. #
KasperskyMoms
#
One new site is

. Type in your email address and see if its in a stolen data dump. #
