College Students at High Risk for Identity Theft

A story from Austin, TX new station KXAN on the BBB, college students, and identity theft.

Some good tips but it mentions that you should look for "https://" for a secure website when shopping online but then also tells the story of someone who put in credit card info for a purchase on a completely fake website.

You need a plan to mitigate damages when they happen. There is no way to avoid a determined ID thief particularly when your info is captured as collateral damage or incidentally.
