People being stupid at times (clicking on links in e-mails that are obviously scams, applying to porn sites (can get that stuff for free guys), downloading bad MP3 files, going to pop-ups). Most sites will NOT try and take your info, which is something that I find most people think is true.

Identity theft is a major problem. If you become or have been a victim of identity theft, you completely agree.
According to comparitech(dot)com, "Identity theft is a major problem for consumers, resulting in billions of dollars in financial losses each year." As well as, "As the world continues its relentless march toward all things digital, the reams of data we’re uploading to the web are increasingly exposed. Each individual consumer’s personal information now resides on hundreds, if not thousands of servers across the globe. With that fact comes a somewhat obvious result: an increase in identity theft."
Even more scary, they state: "Additionally, Javelin Strategy found that children are increasingly the victims of identity fraud. While children have long been a target for Social Security Number misuse and credit card fraud, it appears the impact is growing. The security firm found that over 1 million children were ID theft victims in 2017."
So in reality, it is a major problem in every state of the United States, but really, in every country.
So what does one do to protect yourself? There are several companies that you can join to monitor identity theft, but one actually works to prevent and protect you.
