You’ve all heard of Identity Theft and, more recently, Phishing but do you really understand what they are and how they can affect you? Maybe this will help.

Let’s start with the basics.

Personal Information

This is information that allows an organization to identify you, as you. You know that when you contact the bank, your insurance company or just about anyone that has personal information about you, you are required to prove your identity.

This process of proof generally comprises you being able to supply your Name; Date of Birth; and Address. On Websites, the proof of identity is typically easier, requiring you to know your USER ID and Password.
