Page B10 November Edition Southern Pines Today SOUTHERN PINES Continued From Page 9 current statements. Cyber criminals are also smart. Thieves know you were just offered a year of free credit reporting after the latest department store breach. They will wait 365 days before using and abusing your information. Your best defense is to remain vigilant over your identity by requesting a credit report from each of the three major bureaus, at least once a year. The Center recommends requesting one credit report every four months. Myth 7: My small business is too small for hackers. In a 2012 report by Trend Micro, 65% of small businesses admitted their organizations’ sensitive information is not encrypted or safeguarded. In that same study, 62% of small businesses said they do not routinely back up data. Hackers know that most small businesses do not have the appropriate time or resources dedicated to cyber security, which is why small business are so aggressively targeted with cyber attacks. Myth 8: Most identity theft cases occur online. While data breaches certainly add to the growing number of victims affected by identity theft, many cases occur with no ties to the Internet. A lost wallet, checkbook, or Social Security card can trigger the long and tiresome identity theft recovery process. Credit cards can be skimmed at a gas pump or restaurant. Thieves are not above jumping into dumpsters to steal improperly discarded information. Criminals will also steal mail right out of an unlocked mailbox. More than half of identity theft crimes occur offline. The best place for your most sensitive information is in a safe in your home. Sensitive mail should always be placed in a locked mailbox, and trash should be run through a crosscut shredder. Myth 9: My antivirus program keeps me free from cyber threats. Antivirus software is an important element in keeping your computer and personal information safe, but it can’t prevent all cyber threats. Most antivirus programs only detect a fraction of known malware and viruses Run your antivirus software often, and check for updates, but understand it can’t single-handedly keep your information safe. Myth 10: You can’t protect yourself from identity theft. Be careful about the personally identifying information you share online, especially on social media. Shred mail and documents with account information. Never carry your Social Security number. Opt out of junk mail and register for the National Do Not Call Registry. Consider investing in an identity theft protection service. Keep your computer and devices updated and protected with antivirus programs and firewalls. Take an active role in protecting your identity, so if something does happen, you can catch it early.
