As many people are working to finish their holiday shopping, officials are warning to watch out for identity theft.
AAA is recommending a few steps shoppers can take to keep their personal information away from cyber criminals.
- Don’t shop on an unsecured Wi-Fi network or a public computer.
- Use credit cards instead of debit cards.
- Shield financial data.
- Beware of fake apps.
- Check online statements.
AAA says as online shopping continues to increase; identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes, with $10 billion in losses last year as a result of stolen information.
