Children 51 Times More Likely to be Victims of Identity Theft Than Adults

A new study by Carnegie Mellon University found that children are 51 times more likely to be the victims of identity theft than adults.

US News reports that out of 42,000 children whose financial histories were scanned, 10.2% showed fraudulent Social Security number use.

Children’s Social Security numbers are valuable because a Social Security number with a blank history can have any name connected to it.
