What precautions to you take to protect yourself from identity theft?

I read an article years ago,terrorists are using matrimonial sites and sites that provide jobs for making fake ID cards to get SIM cards for calling purpose.Because on these sites users normally give the true information with photos.There were some suggestions to use such sites .. - dont give your address give only your email to contact you. - Avoid uploading photographs and bio data.(because normally you have all the details in your bio data including your address) - dont upload your cv,resumes better type your info in dialog box,dont give your address. I am following it and I warn about it to users who are not aware of it. for safe password I use some manual techniques.

Hello welcome to mylot Technology developes so fast, we have a say, as we move along branches, the hackers move along leaves, we need to be careful, i don't share my identity easily.. Thanks for sharing Best of luck. Professor

After hearing about this Script Kiddies thing it really does make one wonder about the technological ways to take ones identity. I change my passwords all the time. I use alot of numbers and letters so they are strong passwords and hard to figure out. I have been hacked into on AOL but not sense I left there.

I think that you just have to be really careful about the websites that you choose to put your details into. I will always make sure that people have written reviews about the website and made sure that it is legal and will pay you what they owe you. Also, I will have different passwords for all websites that I use online, and will never use any word or phrase that can be associated with me. All of my passwords are random strings of letters and numbers, which I think is good because then people can't really just guess. Also, you should do a virus check every week to make sure that you're safe from things which could take information from your computer which they could use to take the money from your online bank accont.

I never publish any personal information online which may have any adverse effect on my security and thanks God that so far I have not been a victim of identity theft.

I joined Lifelock to help protect myself. I try to have strong passwords on banking sites, and I have learned the signs of a phishing email and don't bit.

I try to protect myself but making sure to only give information to sites that I trust. I also make sure they are a secure site too.
