Identity theft prevention is probably something that most people don't worry
about when they find their husband or wife spending a large amount of time
online.
Identity theft or ID Theft is growing problem that can be caused by your spouses
online activities. As we mentioned, few things online are free. Many sites
are just traps that will attempt to compromise your computer with viruses or
solicit personal information with the goal of using it to defraud your identity.
This is a relatively common scam run by many foreign adult content sites that
your spouse could be spending hours visiting.
Unlike your fingerprints, which are unique to you
and cannot be given to someone else for their use, your personal data
especially your Social Security number, your bank account or credit card number,
your telephone calling card number, and other valuable identifying data can be
used, if they fall into the wrong hands, to personally profit at your expense.
In the United States and Canada, for example, many people have reported
that unauthorized persons have taken funds out of their bank or financial
accounts, or, in the worst cases, taken over their identities altogether,
running up vast debts and committing crimes while using the victims' names. In
many cases, a victim's losses may include not only out-of-pocket financial
losses, but substantial additional financial costs associated with trying to
restore his reputation in the community and correcting erroneous information for
which the criminal is responsible.
So when your spouse claims there is no harm in
spending so many hour online, they are wrong. The more time they spend in
an online activity the higher potential that both their and your identity will
be stolen.
