Offline and digital identity theft can occur through various methods, such as phishing schemes, data breaches or malicious software designed to steal personal information. ESET provides a suite of tools to combat these threats by encrypting sensitive data and offering multilayered protection. You can read more in our guide on identity theft.

ESET recommends several practices to prevent identity theft, including maintaining good password hygiene, monitoring bank and credit accounts for suspicious activity, being cautious with sensitive data and not oversharing on social media.

If your identity is compromised, it's important to act quickly. Common steps include changing passwords and monitoring your accounts for unauthorised activity.

Data breaches involve the unauthorised access and exposure of personal information, which can significantly impact individuals by leading to identity theft, financial fraud, and a loss of privacy. ESET aims to minimise this impact by alerting users to breaches involving their information.
