Approximately 1 in 20 Americans have been affected by identity
fraud. According to the Javelin 2020 Identity Fraud Report, approximately 13
million Americans every year face some form of identity fraud, including credit
card fraud, account takeovers, and government benefits fraud.
While many individuals and organizations have become accustomed
to the risk of identity fraud, the recent rise in 401(k) theft perpetrated by
strangers is cause for renewed concern.
