chosen.content: Identity theft happens when someone steals personal information such as Social Security Numbers, credit card numbers, bank accounts and passwords, in order to assume the victim's identity for fraudulent purposes. This can happen online, through phishing scams and other malicious cyberactivities. It can also occur when someone’s personal information is obtained through more traditional means such as stolen mail, stolen wallets, or stealing records from businesses and companies. The victim’s identity can be used to make purchases, apply for credit cards or loans, open accounts, or perpetrate various types of crimes. It can take time and resources for the victim to rectify the damage caused by identity theft. 
  
  Identity theft can also happen due to security breaches from organizations that have access to large amounts of personal data such as social media platforms and businesses that handle consumer data. If these organizations are not adequately safeguarding consumer information, identity theft can be the consequence. Additionally, identity theft can occur when victims overshare personal information on public forums such as social media or public websites. This information can then be used to perpetrate fraud or to track the victim’s whereabouts.
