Identity Theft

Identity Theft

The Federal Trade Commission warns that Identity Theft is a problem. Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, Social Security number, credit card number or other identifying information, without your permission to commit fraud or other crimes. Over 7 million Americans are affected by identity theft each year. Digital file sharing allows information to be shared, including this sensitive personal data. If personal data exists on your personal computer, Mediafence tells you if it is safe or not.
Mediafence is on your side in protecting yourself against Identity Theft as well as copyright infringements. It performs an exhaustive search of all media files found on your computer. With this list, a person assesses whether they are sharing sensitive data. In the event a personal file is in a shared location, the user can then move that file into an unshared location.
