The Mechanics of Identity Theft: How Your Data is Compromised
Skilled criminals can compromise your personal data through both online breaches and offline tactics, putting residents across the country at serious risk of identity theft.
Credit Card Skimming and POS Fraud
Hidden Theft at Payment Terminals
A common method of identity theft involves criminals secretly capturing credit card or banking details at point-of-sale locations. For instance:
- Devices like skimmers are placed on gas pumps, ATMs, or registers to steal encrypted card data during a transaction.
- Micro-cameras or false keypads can record your PIN while you type.
- RFID readers can even collect card information from your wallet or pocket without contact.

Mail Theft and Dumpster Diving
Identity thieves often steal sensitive data by targeting mailboxes or rummaging through trash. Credit, debit, insurance, and benefit cards are commonly taken directly from envelopes. Discarded banking, healthcare, investment, and tax documents can be goldmines for criminals looking to commit identity fraud. Even junk mail with personal information can lead to stolen identities.

Regularly review all your financial accounts for suspicious activity, never share personal info with unknown callers or emails, avoid clicking links unless you verify them directly, use strong passwords, avoid unsecured public Wi-Fi, and consider identity protection services. Using an RFID-blocking wallet can also protect your credit cards from unauthorized scans.
