Clarity in Action:
Identity Crimes Defined
At EZShield, we define three forms of identity crimes:
1. Lost/Stolen Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
PII is any information that distinguishes you as an individual, such as your name or Social Security number. Once this information is lost, stolen or exposed in a data breach, you run an increased risk of fraud or identity theft.
Nearly 1 in 3 data breach victims suffered an identity crime in 2016.**
2. Payments Fraud
Fraud is the unauthorized access and use of existing accounts. Credit card and check fraud are two common forms of misuse.
Americans lost $16 billion to fraud in 2016.*
3. Identity theft
Theft occurs when stolen PII is fraudulently used to open new accounts in your name. Perpetrators may open new lines of credit, obtain official documents, or purchase property using your identity.
On average, it takes about 18 hours to resolve an identity theft incident.**
Data Breaches and Identity Theft
There’s an unsettling trend that adds to cloudy space of identity crimes — data breaches.
Data breaches exposed over 174M million confidential records in 2017.***
Major corporations such as Equifax, Yahoo, Uber and Dow Jones & Company have all suffered security lapses resulting in widespread exposure of their customers’ personal and financial information. These breaches serve as the gateway for international financial crime and can plague victims for years to come.
Fighting Identity Crimes acts as the first responder in the wake of a breach. By alerting consumers of large-scale breaches, EZShield customers can react quickly and seek additional assistance from one of our certified Resolution Specialists if needed.
