- Theft
- Identity TheftAs vigilant as you are, identity theft can happen. Hackers, thieves, and con artists obtain and exploit your personal information through means as varied as rummaging through your trash for documents or breaking into a bank computer network. But as frighteningly common as identity fraud is, you can rest secure in the knowledge that the law protects you—U.S. federal law limits your liability for unauthorized charges to $50. In California, the statutes are even stricter—you carry zero dollars liability for unauthorized charges.
