How to avoid identity theft

Publish any personal information in any form and on the internet is an action that can not be justified. However, we can not blame the social networking site just because they provide a place for its users to communicate and interact more comfortably. Awareness of the importance of the meaning of information security and data privacy already owned by each user's internet service itself.
To avoid this we can do some of the following ways:

  • Do not write the information themselves in detail or in a public place accessible to the public.
  • Even if do not have to write it all, make some data (not necessary all) that is not appropriate, may be age, date of birth job. But do not fill out with fake identity for the serious registration form.
  • Avoid writing the name of parents, especially mother - given the many credit card companies still use the mother name as secret question.
  • Avoid using a very precise answer to every secret question, for example, "who is your childhood hero" answer with the name of the school or your pets.
  • Perform the removal or manipulation of data birthdays in social networking site
  • Delete the history & surfing impression especially in public area, such internet cafe, office.
  • Dont show/tell your ID or alias name to unknown or unfamiliar person.
