So what can you do to protect yourself from Identity Theft
? Well, I suggest that you use several lines of defense. First, be smart about your data and where and how it is stored and don't publish it. Make sure that you do business with reputable companies and find out how they will store your data. Use AntiCyberCrime computer tools such as Antivirus suites with spyware programs that will automatically update and can be set to automatically scan your system regularly for threats. And make sure that your operating system and system files such as Microsoft and Java are up to date to avoid threats coming from manufacturers codes. Don't assume that because you use a MAC that you are safe. Cyber Crime is constantly changing and evolving. Don't let your guard down.
