You’re currently reading “26 Safeguards Against Identity Theft,” one of the entries in the Bright Launch collection of articles and resources.
“Thieves used to pick pockets and snatch handbags. Now they steal identities — thanks in part to computers and the Internet, businesses that allow customer data to float around unprotected, and a drastic increase in financial solicitations by mail.

Consider this: Since 1999 an estimated 27 million Americans have had their financial and nonfinancial identities stolen, with an estimated 9.9 million falling victim in 2002 alone. Here’s how you can protect yourself where you are most vulnerable — mail, phone, ATM, and computer — and avoid becoming the next statistic.”
