Identity theft

The private and public dangers of identity theft

Let us do a little experiment: Try to close your eyes and think of the number of people you know that don’t have an account in at least one of the social networks. You probably can’t name more than a few. Even more, even if there are those who haven’t opened an account and developed a virtual personna, they must own an electronic mail account. As this experiment proves, in the world we live in it’s next to impossible to avoid activity in the internet. In the past the term “identity theft” was used usually in regards to activity in the real world when someone steals a person’s identity and uses it in negative way, but our unavoidable presence in the virtual space has turned the issue of identity theft into a matter that can happen even more easily in the web.
