Identity theft
How much is your identity worth?
Did you know that the going rate for an individual identity is $14-18 US dollars? Individual identities are stolen, borrowed, bought and sold everyday underground for criminal activity, property theft and various other exploitations.
An identity is an combination of unique personal information which someone can use to impersonate you to:
- Log into your internet banking account
- Order a credit card under your name
- Access your work files and steal your organisations’ intellectual property
- Reinvent themselves as you
New threats around identity theft are rampant, from the typical credit card and mail fraud, to the growing amount of spear-phishing (targeted and convincing email attacks).
To combat identity theft credit card companies are starting to insist on improved information security through the introduction of PCI DSS, a security standard for organisations who store or transmit credit card information.
