Identity Theft Blog

Even those who think they follow all of the internet security “rules” can still become the victim of identity theft. Lori Savage, whose identity was stolen as a result of a phishing attack, found out that the hard way.

In this CBS News video, Savage says she considered herself savvy in doing business online. She frequently banked and shopped online, and followed all of the recommended security practices. But one day when she tried to make a purchase with her bank card, Savage discovered that an identity thief had stolen $3,000 from her account.
