Power of Number Porting Data When Assessing Risk

Identity theft is at an all-time high. More than $16.8B was stolen in 2017 alone. Technology makes it easier and faster. Accounts can be opened and closed quicker, bank accounts can be drained faster, and healthcare information can be obtained through virtual identification.
