 Would you hand your bank account number over to someone you didn't know so they could spend your money? Or give them your social security number to open credit cards in your name? Here are some ways you can prevent these kinds of identity theft by protecting your personal identifiable information. Service members can practice OPSEC all the time. It simply starts by knowing which information you need to protect and ensuring you're not exposing that information to anyone who's not authorized to have that information. So you can do that at home by ensuring you're not posting things on Facebook, ensuring you're not talking to people out when you're at a bar or out with your friends, and ensuring that you're not exposing that information to anyone that hasn't already been deemed appropriate to have that information.
