Identity theft occurs when someone uses another person's personal identifying information, like their name, identifying number, or credit card number, without their permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. At one point in time, the Social Security number was described as the skeleton key needed to unlock theft of your assets, your identity, and your life. Although that's since changed, and the skeleton key now is much more accessible... and it's ease of obtainability may surprise you. Adam Levin is a nationally recognized expert on cybersecurity, privacy, identity theft, fraud, and personal finance and has distinguished himself as a fierce consumer advocate for the past 40 years.
