Dealing with Digital Identity Theft Now that many transactions in modern life are done digitally, we all have to deal with the possibility of digital identity theft. This problem can take many forms. Of course, there is always the risk of someone stealing and then using your credit card number to purchase something illegally. However, this problem can occur on a larger scale, too. We often hear in the news about certain businesses being hacked; recent examples in the U.S. include the home improvement supply store Home Depot and the technology company Yahoo. As a result, we logically worry that someone may violate the law and access our credit card data. Instances of organizations like health insurance companies being hacked for sensitive medical information are also increasingly in the news. In these cases, companies and organizations may offer the victims of data breaches free identity-theft-protection services to protect against further damage. Identity theft protection after a data breach comes in several forms. The first type is Internet surveillance. Some cybersecurity firms have technology that scans a variety of black market websites, social media platforms, and chatrooms to uncover communications related to illegal selling or trading of stolen personal information. When a firm comes up with evidence that this is happening, it lets the victims know immediately. Other companies provide careful monitoring of bank account information, loan activity, social security number data, credit card activity, and payroll accounts of employers. There are also organizations that can offer support in restoring people's financial reputation after fraud has occurred. A victim's original reputation as an honest customer, business partner, or loan recipient can be harmed indefinitely by identity theft. These firms can help those victims eliminate bad credit scores and clear their names. In addition to the help that firms can provide, there is a lot the individuals themselves can do to guard against identify theft. In a July 2015 article in The Atlantic magazine, Costis Toregas, of the Cyber Security Policy and Research Institute at George Washington University, advises victims of data breaches to learn more about strategies to improve their cybersecurity and to make changes in their online practices. He states that, unfortunately, victims of a data breach need to assume that someone has stolen and will attempt to use their personal information at least once, and they need to make online decisions based on this assumption. So, what are some of his helpful strategies? One is to review your credit regularly: make sure all purchases listed in your accounts are actually yours. Also, make sure no one is opening new credit accounts in your name. If you do find evidence of fraud, it is recommended that you contact the Federal Trade Commission in the U.S. (or an equivalent organization in another country), since they can monitor fraud and provide assistance. "Breaches have nothing to do with computers," says Toregas. "They have everything to with your life. They have everything to do with your career, with your credit, with your happiness, with your ability to get on an airplane and not to be arrested for a different identity, and so on."
