Protect your private numbers.

Private data theft is a serious issue that can land you in jail. Protect your credit card numbers, social security number, bank account numbers, date of birth, drivers license number, passport number, etc. If someone asks you for them, refuse. If they insist and you choose to proceed at least please raise hell about it. There is no reason that the cable company or utility needs your SSN or DOB. None. Give them a deposit in lieu of your credit report so that when they are cracked you aren't a victim.

This guy was doing everything right and he was arrested for pedophilia after someone stole his identity.
