TEMPE, Ariz.--(Business Wire)--
As many Americans rush around shopping malls and online malls this holiday
season, so do identity thieves. Retailers offering low interest rates for
instant credit make prime targets for the Grinch-like identity thief. From
shoulder surfing thieves to online hackers, providing your personal information
may not be as safe as you think.
