Answer:

1.) Mix up Your Passwords

Identity thieves are counting on the fact that you'll use the same password for all of your electronic devices and for your key financial accounts. Once a fraudster obtains a single password, access to the rest of your accounts is easy to accomplish, if every password is the same.

2.) Stay Away From Shady Websites and Links

Avoid clicking on any suspicious-looking links in emails or text messages. If you suspect a link isn't legitimate, don't click on it, and never type in your username or password on an unfamiliar login screen.

3.) Destroy private records and statements.

Once you are done with them, tear up or shred – credit cards statements, solicitations, and other documents that contain private financial information.

Hope this helps :)
