Identity theft via email affects millions of people every year around the world. Today's cybercriminals don't rely solely on sophisticated technical hacking โ€” they know the easiest way to steal your details is simply to ask for them. Through fake emails impersonating banks, service companies, government agencies, and even friends and family, they trick you into clicking a link, handing over a password, or entering credit card details โ€” and then the damage is done.

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information โ€” name, ID number, bank details, credit card number โ€” without your permission and for illegal purposes. The damage can range from withdrawing money from your bank account, to taking out loans in your name, to using your identity to commit criminal offenses. The consequences can be devastating โ€” both financially and reputationally โ€” and it can sometimes take years to fully recover.
