Due to the massive slow down in the ecomony due to lock downs idenity theft is on the rise.

What are some ways identity thieves steal someone elses identity ? What makes a person an easy target?

How do I avoid a white supremacist stealing my idenity and committing a hate crime in my name?

  • Set your debit and credit cards to text you whenever they're used so you can be sure every transaction is authorized
  • Inspect ATMs, gas pumps, etc for skimmers
  • Use a VPN
  • Use antivirus software
  • Use a password manager that generates random gibberish passwords for you, like LastPass
  • They make wallets with Faraday cage-like fabric that prevents contactless skimming of your cards
