\nID<\/a>, children are 35 times more likely to have their identity stolen than adults. This may
\nseem like an odd and shocking statistic, but when you really think about the
\ncircumstances, it makes perfect sense. From the time a child is born to the
\ntime they start using their social security number for applications such as
\ncredit cards, there is a lot of unused time. These untouched social
\nsecurity numbers<\/a> are lingering in cyberspace waiting to get tampered with.
\nDue to constructs such as social media, finding out other personal information
\nsuch as birthday and full name are easily obtained through minor research. ID
\ntheft in children has become a huge issue that many families are not aware
\nof and therefore have little education on preventing it.<\/p>\n
\nchildren. Some experts suggest having early credit checks performed for their
\nchildren as early as 16-years-old. <\/span>Many
\nstates are enforcing special programs to help increase fraud prevention<\/a>
\nmeasures when dealing with children. Even though families may be at the highest
\nrisks, business need to well educated on this matter as well. Financial
\ninstitutions that process these stolen identities will face the consequences in some sort in the end. It is important to have strong ID verification
\nand authentication<\/a> measures implemented in your fraud prevention strategy
\nto help prevent this type of ID theft.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
