PYIW: Protect Your Identity Week

Posted by kent on October 20th, 2009

I guess it's fitting that in a month of costumes and masks we spend some time thinking about identity theft. The week of October 17th is National Protect Your Identity Week. A program of the Better Business Bureau, PYIW seeks to raise awareness about the growing threat of identity theft. The site, protectyouridnow.org, site has statistics, consumer resources, a blog by regular NextAdvisor Daily contributor Robert Siciliano, and links to identity theft games designed to test your ID theft instincts.
