Should You Be Worried About Identity Theft?

Maybe.

Backtracking a moment, I recently made this post about the recently released video game, WATCH_DOGS.  I won’t reiterate too much about that game, but suffice to say, after I saw this infographic on identity theft, I thought that it was pretty appropriate to highlight given some of the features you can do in the game.

If you have no idea what an identity thief even is, aside from a less than stellar film, it’s basically when someone steals a person’s identity usually for the sake of getting access to credit cards and other financial information.

I’ll be honest and say that identity theft isn’t something I’ve given a great deal of thought to.  However this graphic does a great job highlighting how much I should. I’ve never known anyone personally effected by identity theft so I can still remain objective about it. But it’s something that as you make purchases, online of off, or access secure information, you should keep mindful of and take the right precautions.  I have heard horror stories on how difficult it is to get your “life” back once it’s been stolen. What’s one thing you can do to protect your identity?

Special thanks to Sam Franada who created this awesome graphic!
