I agree with reading your statements carefully. Some people take this for granted and react only when a significant amount has been charged to them. You have to understand what your credit card statement is all about. Know what each item means. Learn how to compute charges so you can easily detect any malicious items in your statement.

I agree with you. It’s unfortunate that it takes panic to get people to take necessary precautions. In reality, protecting your identity is about being careful.

What now? Now everyone panics and gets a bunch of trustedids and credit bureaus get swamped with calls from people screaming “what the hell are you doing with my money?!?!”

And for once, a security panic may well lead to a good thing, since the best way to prevent ID theft is to be careful with your data, as far too many people are not.
