How can I protect myself from identity theft?

Asked a year ago
To protect yourself from identity theft, it is important to safeguard your personal information. This includes being cautious about sharing sensitive details online or over the phone, regularly monitoring your financial statements for any suspicious activity, and updating your passwords frequently. Consider freezing your credit report with all major credit bureaus to prevent unauthorized access to your information. Be mindful of phishing scams and never click on links or download attachments from unknown sources. Additionally, shred any documents that contain personal information before disposing of them. Stay vigilant and stay informed to minimize the risks of identity theft.
