Hackers and identity thieves are going wild.
To be accurate your odds of being a victim are still quite small........but the odds are increasing every day.
So what to do?
Watch your bank statements carefully.
Watch your mail carefully, including what may appear to be junk mail (is mail for "Jane Smith" suddenly arriving at your house?).
Give special attention to unexpected mail arriving from tax agencies or collection agencies.
Be very wary of giving personal information over the phone, unless you initiated the call to a known secure number.
You cannot be too careful.
