For an identity thief, tax time is prime time. Documents filed electronically to the Internal Revenue Service are a gold mine for hackers, as they contain Social Security numbers, addresses and financial information.
Here are safety tips from Identity Finder, software designed to help you foil identity theft:
• Create a strong password if downloading IRS W2 forms, 1099s and other personal tax documents from your employer.
• Configure all peer-to-peer file-sharing programs to disable the sharing of your personal folders.
• Don't e-mail tax documents to your accountant unless they are encrypted.
• Do not respond to e-mail purporting to be from the IRS.
• Shred unsecured documents from your computer that contain personal information.
• Don't save your password in your Web browser when accessing banks and other institutions.
• Make sure photocopiers do not store images in their memory.
