ID Theft During the Holiday Season


by Doug Pollack

Unfortunately, ID thieves don't take time off during the holidays. Because people are out and shopping (or on the web and shopping) more actively during December, there is an even greater risk of identity theft.

Christine Arevalo, an ID theft expert and head of data breach services at ID Safeguards, discusses ID theft during a recent edition of AM Northwest.



When shopping online during the holidays, remember to look for the "lock" icon and "https:" address in your browser when entering your credit card or other personal information. Also, she suggests that you dedicate just one credit card for your online purchases in order to make it easier to keep track of the charges in January. And never use a debit card for online buying since it directly accesses your checking account funds.

I seldom comment, but I browsed a few comments on this page "ID Theft During the Holiday Season".
I do have some questions for you if you don't mind. Is it simply me or does it look as if like some of these remarks come across as if they are left by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing on other sites, I'd like to follow you.
Could you list of the complete urls of your shared sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook
page or twitter feed?
