Roughly one in ten Americans become the victim of identity theft, often more than once. Those most at risk are seniors and children, but anyone can become a victim. Widespread data breaches, hacking, and ransomware have increased the threat by more than 300%. More likely than not, some of your private information is out there online for anyone to find.
IDStrong’s public records monitoring service scans for your information across many public records channels and shows you what is out there exposed for others to see. You cannot do enough to protect your identity profile. The first step is public records monitoring to keep a close eye on all your personal data and what shows up so you can take quick action to prevent any damage. Our service monitors for your personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, and usernames and alerts you when it is found online.
Exposed public records may contain your name, date of birth, email address, phone number, home address, and other personal details. Most people do not want these items available to the public. However, various data breaches and leaks may expose your data, and it could be posted online without your permission or knowledge. Additionally, some government agencies that post public records online could, in error, include social security numbers or driver’s license information which is why it is so important to monitor your information regularly.
Some of the types of public record information that could be online about you include:
Identity thieves armed with the information above and other PII they gather from the dark web could do a lot of damage in your name. For example, if someone impersonating you commits a crime and gives police your name and contact details, you could unwittingly have arrest warrants out in your name or a criminal record you didn’t earn.
If a cybercriminal gets a hold of your information through a public records leak, they could access your other accounts, even bank, credit card, and other financial resources, and drain them before you find out. If the identity thief charges a ton of debt in your name, you could have liens, bankruptcies, lawsuits, and other court files exposed online that aren’t even yours. Public records exposure could ruin your reputation as well as damage your credit. Typically, it takes months and sometimes even years to fix the problem of identity theft. Along with identity theft, some other dangers of public records exposure include:
