After stealing your personal data, a thief can go on a reckless spending spree and do severe damage to your credit card or bank account. It can take years to rebuild your credit history after an identity theft incident, and you may have difficulty obtaining loans, lines of credit, and even employment or a rented residence once your credit score has been tarnished. Reviewing your credit card statements thoroughly and regularly monitoring your credit reports can help you keep an eye out for possible signs of credit card fraud and identity theft.
