Digital Security 101

If someone used your personal information and SSN to file taxes, you need to report the issues immediately and protect yourself against identity theft.

Criminals use your stolen information to file fraudulent tax returns in your name and pocket the refund — unless you know how to spot the warning signs.

If you’ve been part of a data breach, there’s a good chance that your email can be found on the Dark Web — but is this something you need to worry about?

While it’s impossible to completely prevent all types of identity theft, you can make yourself a much less vulnerable target with a few protective measures.

The time it will take to recover after your identity has been stolen will depend on what information was stolen, how it was used, and how quickly you act.

Identity theft protection services aren’t right for everyone. But if you’re a prior victim or have family members to protect, it could make sense for you.

As soon as you see signs that your accounts or devices have been hacked, act quickly to remove malware, regain access, and minimize the damage.
