According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), 1.4 million cases of identity theft were reported in the United States in 2021, representing a 113% increase from the previous year. The most common age group for identity theft victims in 2021 was 30 to 39 years old, and consumers spent 16 hours on average to dispute charges on fake accounts, according to Javelin.
Fraudsters obtain personal information through various methods, including phishing scams, hacking, stealing mail or trash, or simply purchasing information from other criminals. One common use case is when a fraudster obtains a victim’s personal information and then applies for a loan in the victim’s name. They may use online applications, phone applications, or even visit banks or other lenders in person in an attempt to secure that loan.
