Young, Dumb, Full Of Risk For ID Theft
WashingtonPost - A new study finds that the young and the feckless are the most at risk for identity theft. 18-24 year olds are more likely to be victimized because they don't check their accounts frequently or thoroughly enough. You can beat the statistics, though, if 1 in 20 times you're tempted to check your friend's Facebook updates you instead scrutinize your account statements. (Thanks to Ben Popken Consumerist!)
