Identity theft of our personal information online is another concerning issue that most affects our privacy online. This is the fastest-growing crime in America, with over 12,000,000 cases last year (2020), costing the average identity theft victim $5,000 in damages. Hackers try to steal personal information including telephone numbers, credit card numbers, social security, and banking information. This stolen information could either be sold or used. This cybercrime is very difficult to investigate by local law enforcement.
