Last month we asked you which method of identity theft most concerns you. The majority of poll responders (55%) said that a thief obtaining personal information over the Internet concerned them most while 30% cited information being stolen from a business as their primary concern. 7% were worried thieves would steal their mail, 6% considered that someone they know could assume their identity and 2% feared ID theft could occur as a result of someone sifting through their trash.
While any of these scenarios could lead to identity theft, Equifax can help you safeguard your identity with credit monitoring and identity theft protection products.
