Hackers/Crooks have put hard working people in hardship by ruining their credit causing them to be unable to buy a home or even getting hired on at a job. They have been known to steal credit card numbers from websites, breaking into homes or digging into the trash to retrieve personal information, and an employee you work with that takes a look at your personal file(Federal Trade, National and State, Consumer Sentinel, 2013).Though the internet is one of the main ways identities are stolen, they will pick-pocket you, steal your mail right out of the box, your tax information, and even obtaining medical services(Cassim, 2015).
