This week in lecture we learned about identity theft. The most common people at risk for identity theft include 18-29 year olds, as they account for almost 30%. Identity theft can be avoided many ways, including: not using debit cards, never disclosing your Social Security Number, do not provide bank account or credit and info, check all your monthly statements carefully to look for out of place activity, and lastly, minimize what is in your wallet.
As a business owner and being in the age range most at risk I need to be safe and watch out for identity theft. Also, higher education is the most commonly reached data. It is the prime target and can go unnoticed for years.
For this website I will make sure that when my costumers have to put in their credit card information it is safe and used for only what they are purchasing. Using the actual website is free, but if someone wishes to purchase tickets for upcoming events they must enter a credit card information. I will not ask for any unnecessary information and make sure that my system and website are secure.
