Identity Theft Protection

In the internet age, if you use a smartphone or laptop regularly, chances are that information about your identity is everywhere. It seems like every company wants you to make a profile with your email and a password, as well as your date of birth and home state. If you shop online, consider how many different websites you’ve given your credit card info and home address to in addition to the profile you made to use their online shopping services. While these companies take strong measures to protect their customers’ information, no company is 100% safe from hackers.

Now more than ever, it’s important to have protection against identity theft. If your credit card information gets hacked, the thief can use it almost immediately online.
