Keep Your Identity to Yourself

By Scott Lindley
General Manager, Farpointe Data

As seen on Professional Security Magazine Online

Having ways to verify your personal identity (PI) means you can open bank accounts, prove you have enough money to buy a car or fly to Switzerland. Of course, not knowing that someone else is using your PI can also mean that somebody is using your good name and credit to open bank accounts, buy a car or fly to Switzerland. Once discovered that someone else is using your PI, it can be very difficult to stop and correct.
