Answer

Identity theft is a type of fraud that involves using someone else's identity to steal money or gain other benefits. Online identity theft refers to an act of stealing someone's personal information such as name, login details, credit card details etc, and then posing as that person online.

To protect ourselves from such frauds, we should follow Private Browsing or Anonymous Browsing on the internet.
