Just recently, the news were out and it was about this young hacker who breached the database of Commission on Elections (COMELEC) that lead to the leakage of sensitive information. Because of this, a lot were alarmed that maybe private information of theirs would be spread out or worse, their identities might be stolen. Here are a few ways to ensure that you are free from identity theft.
It would be wise and practical to have a safe anywhere in your home. Even though you have a safety deposit box elsewhere, it is as important as having that. Have photocopies of your documents and keep them in places where it would be safe 24/7.
This is important to ensure the security of important documents and files such as important cards, (SSS, GSIS, bank statements, etc.) files, (birth certificate, marriage certificate, baptismal, passport, etc.) and personal identity proving belongings.
It would also be necessary to renew all of the documents you can renew such as NBI clearance and NSO birth certificate to ensure that the identity would still be 100% yours.
Ensure the safety of your network in your home
Making sure that your network is safe is as important as making sure your home is. In our times, the network we are in is also like our homes where we keep private, important, and personal stuff that is not free for everybody.
