These are unsolicited s or pop-up messages claiming to be from businesses or organizations that you might be familiar with, like a bank or a major retail brand. Always check out sellers before you buy. Legitimate businesses or individual sellers should give you a physical address and a working telephone number.

Other steps you can take… Keep your operating system and Web browsers up- to-date. Be sure to install updates and patches that fix security issues. Back-up your files on a regular basis. If you have important files stored on your computer, copy them onto a removable disc or an external hard drive, and store it in a safe place.

Why should students be concerned? They may be more vulnerable to identity theft because of the availability of personal data and the way many students handle this data. Almost half of all college students receive credit card applications on a daily or weekly basis. Nearly a third of students rarely, if ever, reconcile their credit card and checking account balances. Almost 50 percent of students have had grades posted by Social Security number.
