Security and Keeping Identity Protected
Security and Keeping Identity Protected
Security and keeping identity protected has been in the news recently and has raised some interesting questions. In terms of how, or why this is, and will continue to be, important, means that we all must raise our awareness in our ability to protect not only ourselves, but those of our loved one's as well.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that technology is taking over many of our regular activities in our lives. In the news for instance it seems like every day or every other day we hear about a breach and thousands if not millions of compromises have occurred. Thus, our security and keeping identity protected is important enough to at least take a look to see where we stand.
Does this mean we need to be alarmed, absolutely, it should not only alarm us, but it should wake us up and take action and taking steps to prevent and protect ourselves and our loved one's from these deliberate hacks. While we are not experts in this field, it should alert us to where we are and how we actually are protected. Not only our own information but the security and keeping our identity protected from these hacks is essential for the next events which will happen.
Some things that we can often do to protect us is to change our passwords, protect our credit and debit cards by reviewing our security options, as well as making sure our information is not easily available to anyone. These are basic and common knowledge that everyone is aware of and hopefully using on a daily routine. Personal identity security is one of the fastest growing crimes in the world.
Routines are where these hackers depend on and try to duplicate to gain access to your security and identity attributes of all of our accounts. There are many companies that are available to address these events one of them being ID Shield. This company has an extensive record and has an A+ rating with the BBB.
Going forward, identity guard and identity theft protection will be with us for some time to come s technology continues to evolve. Taking appropriate steps to protect our selves and those of our loved one's will become more and 
more relevant with the changes that have happened and will happen in the near future.
So what do you think, are you in favor of security measures for you and your family's identity or do you already have preventive measures already in place?

Hi Xavier
You are right, this is a topic that can not be taken too seriously! However, often times we think we take it seriously, but we have this underlying feeling that it happens only to other people. We've fallen pray to something like this - just not online, but offline and I can tell you, it is a NIGHTMARE. So I can just imagine that it will be an even bigger one if online.
Let us all be vigilant and stay safe!

So true and a nightmare is putting it lightly. Having lost a wallet a time or two, it's virtually not an easy thing getting your license and id's and not only that but the time you have to take to get to the department of motor vehicles? Yes it is a nightmare. Thanks Sharlee.
