2012 Child ID Theft Report. In that research, we note some alarming stats:

	- 10.7%of children scanned by us were victims of identity theft.
	- Children are35 times more likely to be victims of identity theft than adults.
	- The rate of young victimsdoubled from the 2011 report.
	- Over$1,000,000 in fraud was reported by one victim.What could this mean for your child? As your little one says her first words, starts his first day of school, or applies for college, a thief could be talking on a new cell phone, starting a new line of credit, and applying for a mortgage - all using your child's Social Security number.

To best protect your little ones, check your child's identity with

five most common ways  identities are stolen are phishing emails, peer-to-peer file sharing, social networks, malicious websites, and malicious attachments. Fortunately, there is one tool out there that prevents you from visiting malicious sites or downloading malicious software: a virtual private network.

A virtual private network, or a VPN, is a secure tunnel for your Internet connection. Mobile devices are some of the most vulnerable when it comes to security and identity theft, since they store a lot of personal information and connect to insecure networks when used on the go.

Case Study: A Customer Fights Back Against Thieves

About two years ago, Jane received a letter in the mail referencing a credit account that she had allegedly tried to open at American Eagle Outfitters.  The account was never officially opened and Jane assumed she had received the notice in error.   Now, in hindsight, she realizes it was a warning of things to come. 

Jane and her husband, a retired NYPD officer, discovered her name, DOB, address, phone number, Social Security Number and credit card information were appearing on
