Identity theft on line occurs in various ways. Here are a few possibilities.
1) Going on line at a unencrypted wireless hotspot where others on the same network can see your transmissions
2) Logging into unknown networks that can be run by hackers who are there to steal your information. This could include open proxies or free wireless networks set up for this purpose. Many times a Identity thief will set up a wireless network with a name similar to the one you expect ot see. Like the name of the coffee shop you are at with a slightly different name. Most people won’t notice the difference and many will log into the hacker network instead of the actual one provided by the establishment.
3) Responding to spam emails that link to web sites that look like legitimate banking or credit card sites and providing your information. This is referred to as phishing. An example you get an official looking email from what looks like Pay-Pal saying you need to log into your account for some reason. You click on the link which takes to to a look alike of the actual pay-pal site. You enter your user name and password. It comes back and says you entered your password wrong. It then redirects you to the real Pay-Pal login page and you log in thinking nothing about it. However the hacker has your login information and then goes in and drains your account or buys all kinds of stuff in your name.
