  • Step 1. Be stingy about giving out personal information.
  • Step 2. Check your monthly statements.
  • Step 3. Check your credit accounts several times a year.
  • Step 4. Put a freeze on new credit accounts.
  • Step 5. Check your medical records and put a freeze on them as well.
  • Step 6. Use passwords that aren't easy to guess. Don't use the same passwords for all your accounts.
  • Step 7. Use credit cards instead of checks when possible. Don't leave credit card slips, or unused, or cancelled checks lying around.
  • Step 8. Guard your laptop and make it difficult for people to obtain information from it.

Take care when using the internet.
