identity theft

Identity theft is a growing problem - on and off line. How much personal information do you "give away" on Facebook, MySpace etc? How often do you change your behaviour? Check your computer for viruses? Do you use multiple passwords (e.g. do you use the same password for email as you do when using it to log in for other accounts)?

It's costing the British economy £1.7Bn and 170,000 people are affected each year. Will an identity fraud Tsar help though, as is being suggested by MPs?
