Sensitive number finder detects data that could put you at risk for identity theft
July 7th, 2008 - Posted by Caitlin
Senf is a free, open source Java application that scans your hard drive for Social Security numbers, credit card numbers and any other sensitive data worth stealing. By pointing out where these types of numbers exist on your computer, Senf can help you protect yourself from identity theft. You can download the application here.
Keeping sensitive personal information and account numbers as secure as possible by using programs like Senf or by shredding sensitive documents is an important step you can take to prevent identity theft. But since it would be impossible to ensure that this type of information is never leaked, lost, or hacked, it is a good idea to invest in an identity theft protection service.
