What is identity theft?
Your digital identity can consist of your personal details like your email address, user name and password. These details are being used to log in on the site of e.g. your bank or an online store where you can place an order.
If your personal details are being used by other persons without your agreement, chances are that your digital identity has been hijacked. This way, illegal activities can take place out of your name and you can be held responsible for these activities.
Protect your personal details.
Make sure that your personal details stay private to prevent abuse of your digital identity.
What to do?
