What are 4 types of identity theft?
Identity theft can occur in many ways:
Computer crime occurs when your personal information is stolen during your online activities, such as logging into an account or making a purchase on the web.
Personal betrayal occurs when a friend, relative, or stranger steals your information and uses it without your knowledge or consent.
Document loss occurs when you lose your wallet or credit cards or someone steals your information from your mail or trash.
Business leaks occur when your personal information is stolen from a place where you’ve done business. The business might alert you to a data breach.
