It is great to see so many people taking precautions around their passwords. I had my identity stolen a few years ago, but thankfully no financial damage was done.
I would say make sure to protect your paper like your digital. The guess was someone got my tax return and based on that was able to go to town signing up for just about everything they could. They even tried to switch my bank accounts to a guy in another city. Luckily I got a call from the bank in that city because a teller thought something was fishy. The guy had full fake ID and everything.
Anyways, we still have a paper environment. So buy a cross shredder and don’t keep any sensitive paper kicking around!
