The best ways to protect against identity theft are:
1. Keep personal information secure. Don't share passwords, Social Security numbers, or other sensitive information.
2. Don’t respond to unsolicited emails, phone calls, or texts, even if they look legitimate.
3. Protect your computer with up-to-date anti-virus, anti-spyware, and a firewall.
4. Regularly review your financial accounts, credit reports, and other personal documents for suspicious activity.
5. Use strong passwords for online accounts and change them regularly.
6. Shred documents that contain personal information before discarding them.
7. Be cautious when using public Wi-Fi networks.
