Each year, millions of consumers discover a disturbing truth — their personal information has been stolen. Frankly, it's likely that all our data are out there, whether we know it or not. But all is not lost. You can protect against fraud even when your data has been exposed.
We all spend so much of our time online these days. It’s estimated that the average adult spends the best part of seven hours per day glued to their screens. When we’re finished with work, we’re hitting up our apps to watch TV, do our online banking, play games, socialize with friends – even visit the doctor. Cybercriminals and fraudsters know all this. They know we’re comfortable with digital interactions, and that we routinely hand over personal and financial information to the organizations we interact with online. And they’ve devised a variety of ways to get ahold of that info, and our hard-earned cash.
