According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), identity theft is the fastest growing crime in America, affecting nearly 10 million people between Recognizing and Avoiding Online Scams _IdentityTheft 2010 and 2014. Further, the 2015 Identity Fraud Study released by Javelin Strategy & Research calculated that in 2014 there was a new identity fraud victim every two seconds.

This crime occurs when a thief obtains confidential information - including passwords, personal ID numbers, Social Security numbers, or an account number used with a financial institution - and uses it to commit fraud. Identity thieves use a victim's stolen information to open bank and brokerage accounts, run up bills for credit card purchases, obtain loans, and commit other forms of financial fraud.
