  3. Phishing and spyware are risks related to identity theft. You can protect your self from identity theft by buying the anti-phishing and anti-spyware software. Also unless you must use the correct information use bogus names and and information about yourself.

  4. HTTP Client-side Exploitation

    Keep an inventory of Authorized and Unauthorized Devices and Software. Keep your computer maintained and running well. Have AVG virus software on your computer.

    Every source on the internet has the ability to be hacked. You have to continuously check for updates, use anti-virus software, and keep in mind that everything you put on the internet can be taken and hacked for personal reasons. Putting up firewalls on your computer is top priority as well. Look for "https" when you are going to give your personal information/numbers, you must be sure that the information you are sharing is going to be protected.

    I think the best thing to save you from identity theft is having all these antivirus software on ur CPU such as AVG or even spirewares are good and as always keep your fire wall on.

  9. This entire article is related to Identity theft. I think the best way to prevent identity theft from occuring is by downloading antivirus software, using fire wall, and never putting vital information unless the website is secure.
