Most of us think of identity theft as something that happens to individuals on a personal basis – but entrepreneurs are actually prime targets.  Why?  Small business owners often use their personal credit to finance their businesses. Their data is stored in multiple places, such as bank accounts and vendor systems.

Because small businesses often lack the security infrastructure that big companies have, cybercriminals know they make easy targets.  If your identity is compromised, the damage can flow through both your personal and business life.

What are some common risks?

• Business email compromise.  Hackers can impersonate you to steal payments.
• Stolen data from breaches
• Fraudulent accounts and loans were opened in your name.
