Why are kids and teens defenseless against identity theft?

  • Kids and teens have spotless credit records, which means thieves can easily open new accounts, and charge products or services under their name.
  • Proud parents are likely to share too much of their kids’ and teens’ accomplishments and private details on their social media accounts, making the information even more readily available for cybercriminals.
