What's the best way to prevent identity theft?
Personal prevention is one thing and such instances of identity theft happening offline have also increased. There are a number of identity audit systems available these days and a number of identity access management firms that provide services to save data stored in laptops from theft or misuse. When one can spend hundreds of dollars in buying a laptop, it would not cost much to install security features that would help protect invaluable data.
What should you do about identity theft? You don't really need to wait to for your creditors to call you up and inform you about fraudulent charges on your account. You should always keep yourself updated on all your credit accounts. Many credit card companies offer a service called credit watch and they will alert you every time a new account or inquiry is placed against your credit report.
