Cybercriminals use stolen or synthetic identities to create new accounts using a victim’s personal information such as Social Security number, name and date of birth. Data breaches, website hacks, phishing attacks, web-accessible public records and the explosion of social networks make it easier than ever to pretend to be someone else on the worldwide web.
