You hear many stories about corporate hacks, social
networking scams and online threats putting your
identity at risk. Although mail theft may seem quite
tame at first glance, the majority of known ID theft
is perpetuated via low -tech methods: stolen wallets,
stolen trash and stolen mail.
Mail theft is a common way that identity thieves
can steal your identity; career crooks make a stable
living from snatching letters, bills and junk mail.
Mail theft is highly under -reported because most
people don't realize they have been victimized.
What information can be collected from stolen mail?
