Licenses and Disclosures. Advertiser Disclosure. The credit card industry has bolstered its monitoring systems to try to catch fraud before it happens, but it's also essential that you take steps to safeguard your personal data. Preventing identity theft involves protecting your sensitive information, including whom you give your credit card information to and how. Some methods are better than others. Here's how you can best protect yourself with each form of communication.
Email was not created with data privacy in mind, though some email providers are adding security measures. Depending on where the message is sent, its contents can be stored on multiple servers along the way. Also, emails are stored in various folders in your account and the recipient's, making your credit card information vulnerable to hackers or someone else who has a way to access one of the accounts.
What you can do: If you've sent credit card or other sensitive information over email in the past, search through your sent folder and delete the information permanently. In the future, you can mitigate the risk by encrypting your email or using an email provider that encrypts messages automatically. Microsoft Outlook has a feature that lets users encrypt individual messages as well.
But don't trust an encryption software without vetting it. In general, it's difficult for hackers to access text messages. But as long as a text containing credit card information sits in an inbox or sent folder, it's exposed. If your phone is stolen, or the phone of the person you sent the information to is swiped, the thief may be able to access the information.
What you can do: Consider installing a text message encryption app on your phone that has self-destruct functionality. That way, the text containing your credit card information will be deleted from both phones after a pre-set period of time, lessening the exposure. One such app is Signal, which is available for iPhone and Android.
This is an easy way to keep your phone, and everything on it, more secure.
