Identity theft is the act of stealing another person's personal identifying information and using that information for personal, financial or other gain without the victim's consent. This can include the use of Social Security numbers, bank accounts, or credit card information. Phishing is a technique used by criminals to trick individuals into revealing their personal information, and dumpster diving is a method of obtaining personal information by rummaging through someone's trash. A data breach is a security incident in which sensitive, protected or confidential data is copied, transmitted, viewed, stolen or used by an individual who is unauthorized to do so. While a data breach can lead to identity theft, it is not necessarily the same thing as identity theft.
