Identity theft does not only affect adults.
Children can be especially vulnerable because their personal information is often unused and harder to monitor. This makes it easier for it to be taken and used without being noticed for long periods of time.
Because there are fewer warning signs, identity theft involving children can go undetected.
Take time to understand:
• Why children are targeted for identity theft
• What types of information may be at risk
• How identity theft can go unnoticed over time
• What actions can help protect personal data
