Explanation

Identity theft is a form of fraud or cheating of identity in which someone wrongfully obtains and uses another person's personal data in some way that involves fraud or deception, typically for economic gain. By compromising an individual's personal data, such as their Social Security Number, bank account numbers, or other personal information, a cybercriminal can use it to gain access to credit cards or other financial accounts, or to open new accounts in the victim's name.
