Personal Information on the Internet.
Your personal identity ending up on the Internet can be the end of your life. In our everyday society hundreds of peoples' identity are being stolen, causing them to have no employment or a home to live in. On the Internet, our identity is made up of your
personal information such as, your birth date, full name, social security numbers or pins, account numbers, usernames for sites, password for different sites and
names of family members. These digital identities work on the basis that we're
the only individuals who know this information. However, because we use the
Internet for all sorts of financial transactions; criminals are developing
sophisticated techniques to steal these digital identities. Internet identity theft results show their aim is to use our teenage identities to open up your
personal emails, social networking sites and blogs. Never tell anyone your personal information on the Internet unless you have your parents or guardians permission.
