In a world of fake IDs and fraudulent documents, verifying
\nsomeones identity is not extremely difficult in person. Its fairly easy to
\nspot out a fake document or copied photo. With simple holographics and
\nwatermarks, security personnel and companies can detect when someone is being
\nmisleading about their true identity. But as we all know, the world does not
\nalways transact in person. With advancements in technology, companies and
\npersonal lives have moved from face-to-face interaction to online and mobile
\nconnections. In a faceless environment, proving someone is who they claim to
\nbe suddenly becomes much more difficult. In fact, verifying someones identity
\nin person and online are two very different feats and should never be treated
\nin the same manner. Identity thieves have learned to overcome much of the
\nmodern day technology and stealing someones identity online or via mobile<\/a>
\nhas now become a fairly easy crime to commit. So how can we as business owners,
\nfamily members, and human beings protect each other and ourselves from this
\neveryday crime?<\/p>\n

Some countries are taking action to implement government
\nissued electronic
\nidentity cards<\/a> to help make this online security issue a bit easier. These
\ncards can be tested against other personal information such as a bank accounts
\nand even some biometric information to help ensure someones identity. This
\ncould very well be a step in the right direction to help cut down on online
\nidentity theft<\/a>. Some companies and countries may not have the technology or
\nfunding for this solution quite yet, but it could be a solution to cutting back on
\ntheft. It could also be a solution that would work in a short-term manner and
\nthen possibly add to the problem. There is not enough information yet to tell
\nwhether solutions like this could hurt or help the overall issue of online
\nidentity theft. Being aware of the issues and the risks is the first step to preventing
\nfraudulent activity online<\/a>. Protect yourself and your company today, start
\nthe conversation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
