Do You Worry About Identity Theft Online?

[Nomad]

Identity theft is a big problem for internet users. Whether you work online, use internet for research or use social site for entertainment and information, you are always prone to identity theft. Even if you don't share personal info on the sites you use, big companies like Google and Facebook still track you. You cannot skip from tech giant eyes, therefore I don't worry too much about it. What about you?

I would recommend identity theft protection. In fact, I would get some, but my income has been so low for so long. Anyway, another type of protection is title theft protection. If you have the title of a house, then it's a target. Who has heard of that one?

Anyone who is smart is always going to be worried about the possibility of suffering identity theft online. This is the reason why it is always going to be in your best interest to try and protect your identity as much as you can by taking up security measures that will help to secure identity from being stolen.

My bank routing and account number was used to rip me off one time. In that case, I don't like giving that out too much. Who has had that happen to them?

This has started to bother me a bit in recent years with the development of artificial intelligence, but I understand that I do not share data and my photos, so identity theft is not as realistic for me as for more famous people, and I think they are already thinking about how to protect their data

Yes, I'm worried, and I try not to make missteps, but so far I've never had a problem with this and I hope it stays that way, I'm kind of meticulous with what I do on the internet, you never know who might be trying to attack you or wanting to steal your personal data.

When I started I was using my real name, photo and location but then I started experiencing bullying and trolling. That's why I ended up using a screen name. It is very important to protect your identity, but if someone is after you, no matter what you cannot hide yourself.

No, hiding may not be the best option, but for example, if the phone number is not strictly necessary I don't give it, neither does my real name, the bad thing is that nowadays the companies to which we do give compromised data, sometimes have security flaws and steal data, that worries me.

In my country, the government lost the medical data of all citizens in a cyberattack and that data is now circulating on the black market, which is worrying.
