Identity theft consists of impersonating another person or entity such as a company, an organisation or a financial institution. Through messages, emails, or phone calls, the objective of identity theft is to trick victims into revealing sensitive information, such as passwords, credit card numbers, bank details, and even financial transactions.
To avoid identity theft, it is of utmost importance to verify the veracity of the messages and calls received, not click on links or open suspicious files or to provide data or carry out financial transactions that you did not intend to do.
