 TITLE: How Does Identity Theft Happen? CONTENT: An Unsecured Home Network\n-------------------------\nYour home Wi-Fi network may be a target if it's open or has a simple password. If it's unsecured or not secured well enough, anyone within 500 feet can join the network and access your sensitive information.\nTo prevent this type of identity theft, start by securing your network with WEP or WPA security. Doing this will make it harder for fraudsters to access your private files.\nAlso, set a complex password and change it every six to 12 months. Doing this can make it harder for a thief to guess your password based on what they might know about you. END
