CBS: Here's how easy it is to hack a phone

I never considered it, but even though this may seemingly be a small thing, it could eventually have great, unpleasant consequences; it present hackers with a real opportunity to steal your identity.

The chain is no stronger than its weakest link and you may be surprised how much information you have stored on your phone. In order to secure all that information and ensure there is not someone else walking around imposing to be you, you may want to engage the services of IdentityHawk.

I am fully aware that identity theft doesn't cross our minds that often and we may even be under the impression that it would not happen to us. Those famous last words have come back to bite many people already and identity theft protection is no luxury nowadays, but a must.

You can be as careful as possible and take all kinds of precautions, but you would be surprised finding out in how many different areas your identity is vulnerable and how easily accessible it is.

You don't need to loose any sleep over it though by watching it like a hawk; let someone else do that for you. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, but in this case an ounce of prevention protects your existence!
