Hopefully as more people utilize them identity theft will decrease. Everyone should use these services for identity protection or do it themselves by placing fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus every 90 days and by obtaining their credit report and monitoring it for changes they did not initiate. Not quite as good, and no insurance, but still effective. Most importantly protect your personal information at all costs, identity theft is huge and incredibly painful and time consuming to deal with, and of course there is the financial loss. Unfortunately, companies also lose laptops or have them stolen and put many people at risk. Be proactive, protect yourself.

I'm sure all those readers, who are looking for some information on Identity theft will be enlightened by the information you've shared. @ Andy : Well, I didn't know about these things at all. I myself have to learn a lot about it. But, at least, the points mentioned above will help in being away from identity theft. I saw the identity theft video from msnbc on your website and found it really good. Will be posting it for our readers too. @ Steve : Thanks a lot for the contribution to the post.

You should at least review the services offered by identity theft prevention companies like Lifelock and Debix. Far greater security and no hassle for less than 7.50 a month and there both backed by a million dollar guarantee. I agree with Steve.

Unfortunately for the people in the article, their personal information has already been comprimised, so locking down their laptops and the information on them is no longer viable. The first thing they need to do is start very closely monitoring their credit report. Here's a link that shows you how to read your credit report when looking for identity theft: http://topinternetguides.com/2007/12/10/what-happens-if-your-identity-is-stolen/ The next thing they need to do is sign up for identity theft protection. Anyone who doesn’t think they need ID Theft protection isn’t living in the real world. According to the Federal Trade Commission, 25.4% of Americans have been or will be victims of a stolen identity. An ID Theft Protection, Counseling, and Restoration program is critical for each and every American to have starting today. This is even more critical as their personal information has already been comprimised. I recommend using My Secure Advantage, and there is a link at the bottom of the article.
