Identity theft...

There was a time when I believed that identity theft was something that happened to other people and I would never need to worry about it. Then earlier this year I was hit with online fraud on my bank account. Luckily the bank caught it immediately and locked down our account before things got out of hand. This week we were hit again via our PayPal account and the entire thing leaves me really concerned. I am now researching every possible way of securing our information from online security keys to using rfid blocking wallets. I never knew there were so many ways to have your privacy invaded and the thought of someone reading my credit card information through my wallet never occurred to me. I feel like I need to do as much as possible but am only beginning to learn what threats exist out there.
