How do I protect myself from identity theft?

You can protect yourself against identity theft by securing your personal information -- online and offline. Make sure to engage in best practices such as using strong passwords, protecting your devices with updated security software, monitoring your bank transactions, securing your personal documents, and minimizing the amount of information you share online. For proactive protection, McAfee® Identity Protection Service can actively monitor your sensitive information and give step-by-step guidance when you need it the most.

What should I do if I’m a victim of identity theft?

Begin by analyzing the situation and reviewing the compromised information. Then, notify the relevant authorities, such as your bank, insurance agency, a local police station, or a national cybercrime complaint center. While the relevant authorities are helping you with the case, check and secure your financial accounts, devices, and proof of identity.
