So how can YOU prevent identity theft in a world where all your information is online? The first step, and the best preventative measure for adults and parents to take, is to limit the amount of personal information available online. That includes your name, date of birth, address, and social security number.

If you have the money to do so, you might also want to subscribe to services such as Lifelock, IdentityForce, and ID Watchdog. These services monitor and report any fraudulent activity so you can take action as soon as possible. And if all else fails, you can always freeze your credit.

In this episode of ConTECHtual, NowThis Future host Alejandro Alba is here to share with you some ways by which you can learn how to avoid identity theft and how to avoid identity fraud.
