6. The phishing phenomenon
If your bank, a service provider or a socio-political site asks you to reconfirm some personal details, you may have come across with the phishing phenomenon. The advice is as simple as can be: never call the numbers on a phishing e-mail or visit the supposed website.

7. Unknown e-mails
Unknown people or organisations are sending you e-mails? You should immediately delete them and inform your e-mail supplier about. Never reply or open the attachments because they can have viruses and you will receive more of them.

8. Less is more
Your private information given to the social networking sites will transform you into an easy pray. Only the closest friends should have access to this kind of personal details.  

9. Forgot your password?  
There are people having more than 50 passwords and codes to access online accounts. With such a number the passwords can be easy forgotten if not using similar words or not keeping a list. The advice is to use as many as different, to try to remember them and not to reveal them to anyone.

10. Can’t just delete
Can’t let the recycle bin to take care of your unwanted information. Purchase a clean-up utility to overwrite the disk space holding useless details. Before going to check or upgrade the computer, delete sensitive and personal information.

11. Portable storage devices
Watch and deposit them along with your other important possessions.

12. Copy the important documents
This refers to the documents existing in your computer and not to the password that you should remember.

13. The helpfulness of your credit report
Regularly check the report presented to you by the identity fraud protection services.
