Identity theft
Within this article, you can see a case where identity theft had taken place on a Portland resident. The Portland woman, Del Prado saw countless of loans being applied under her name.

We can potentially protect ourselves from these types of situations by protecting personal information, shredding documents with information before you throw them away, monitoring all of your accounts, checking bank statements on a regular basis, and securing your devices, updating them with the latest software.
