The popularity of the Internet and computers provides a gateway for the identity theft. The wealth of personal details people post on social networks such as Facebook also makes it easier for identity thieves to obtain personal information.

　　Many people are not aware of the problems caused by this crime. They wake up from their carefree attitude only when they become a victim and suffer the damages caused by this crime.

　　There is no cure for identity theft except prevention and this is why it is important that every person should become cautious when using the Internet. The following tips may prevent you from identity theft.

　　First, make sure your computer has an updated anti­virus and firewall system installed. Second, only enter your credit card details on secure sites, or websites that you've used before. Third, avoid giving away too much personal information on social networking sites. Your date of birth, names of schools attended, phone number or the names of your parents are often required to verify an identity, and thieves can use this information too. Fourth, avoid sharing files as this gives other people access to your hard drive. Fifth, never open suspicious e­mails from unknown source.

　　Last but not least, create complex passwords using a combination of numbers and keyboard symbols and change your passwords on a regular basis.
