    How Identity Theft Protection Can Increase Your Profit!

    Shufti

    Identity theft protection is something that is not only a concern for ordinary users anymore. Businesses around the globe are also suffering from this cyberspace menace that functions in more than one way. The biggest reason why Identity theft protection has become such a headache for modern day businesses are the complex mechanism being used by cybercriminals. But before we go in detail that how an online business is at risk of losing revenue because online identity theft, it is important that a background is provided regarding this phenomenon

    Why does identity theft happen

    Well! The answer to this question is very simple. It is for the same reason that a crook commits a robbery or a criminal performs a carjacking. There can be different methods to hijack someone’s identity but the reason is the same for all such instances: use someone else’s credentials to utilize services or buy items that an identity thief doesn’t want to pay for. Millions of individuals suffer because of identity theft every year and online identity thefts have created a digital medium to exploit ordinary people.

    How does identity theft happen online

    Like in the real world, there are many ways to steal the identity of a person online. Naive users can be tricked into providing their personal information by posing to be a representative of an established company that wants to provide “extra incentive” to bring you onboard. Smarter criminals are using even more sinister tricks like hacking of large databases maintained by online stores and websites. Financial information stored by banks and financial institutions is routinely raided by cybercriminals that sell such information for a high price in digital black markets.

    What to do when identity theft occurs

    Well, it is hard to know that whether your identity has been stolen or not until you receive reports of some suspicious behavior or unsolicited purchases that you never made. Sometimes, users come to know about their stolen identity or credentials pertaining to their identity by press releases issued by companies that hold their personal information e.g. a social media website that you had an account on or the bank that provided the mortgage for your home etc.

    How to prevent identity theft

    There are several identity theft protection tips that can assist you in safeguarding your potential identity from falling into the hands of financial criminals.

    1. First and foremost is to use services of only the top of the line service providers. Such companies have the resources to spend an appropriate amount of money on the digital security of data that they have collected from their customers.
    2. Secondly, while surfing the internet, never provide your vital information to any service that seems shady or less than legitimate. It can be a trap to collect your identity information and use it to rob you of your hard earned money.
    3. Thirdly, never click on links that look suspicious. Web browsers have added features to alert the users whenever they try to enter a website that seems insecure or doesn’t match the necessary definition of a legitimate site.

    Business identity theft protection

    Although, much of the talk about online identity theft surrounds how a common user should behave online and what kind of information should never be divulged on the internet and the need to spend a serious amount of money on digital security. But more often then not, the debate over online identity protection forgets businesses that are also affected by online identity thefts. Frequent cash back requests received by online merchants because of identity theft cut down a big chunk of projected profits for an online venture.

    How can businesses protect themselves from identity theft

    Performing proper identity verification for new customers and even for the existing customers can do wonders for an online business. KYC verification software plays a vital role in ensuring that the customers actually own the identity that they claim. Identity verification services such as Facial verification, document verification, and address verification can formally secure businesses from encountering cybercriminals using fake or stolen identities for buying products or availing services.

    Increase Your Profit
