When most people hear the term identity
\ntheft<\/a> (especially in todays digital world) they typically think of a
\nthief that has gotten ahold of a credit card number and used it behind the
\ncardholders back. As most physical thefts are detected early enough for the
\ncardholder to cancel their cards, online
\nfraud<\/a> has increased because thieves do not need the physical card to use
\nit, just the number. With the way the general population is using their cards
\nonline, it is not outlandish to see why more identity thieves are moving
\nonline. Even though online identity theft typically leads to fraudulent charges
\nand nothing more, identity theft can move far beyond the annoyance of fake
\ntransactions.

In some rare occasions, identity theft can lead to full on
\nloss of identity. In Jeff Daviss (President & CEO) latest blog in Fraud
\nThoughts, he outlines a story of a womans recent fight with an identity
\nthief. This thief did not just go on an unbeknownst shopping spree, but stole
\nher entire identity to get a job, mortgage and drivers license. This may come
\nas a shock to read, but fewer companies implement fraud prevention
\nmeasures<\/a> than most people would think. Many major transactions such as
\nbuying a car often do not have any type of identity
\nverification or authentication<\/a>. This is why protecting yourself in the
\ndigital age is more important than ever. Companies also need to take
\nresponsibility to ensure their practices and processes are safe and secure. By
\nhaving a strong fraud prevention strategy, companies and ward off fake
\nidentities and help to prevent identity theft big or small.
