Thank you to the thousands of readers and viewers, who helped me prep for my segment this morning by taking my quiz on protecting your financial security! If you haven’t by the way, you can here. I promise you’ll learn something new. I’m also receiving tons of emails asking about the site for protecting your passwords — it’s Dashlane.com. I’ll get to those emails too!
Before I sign off, here are some quiz results:
- 40% couldn’t point to the safest precaution you can (and perhaps should) take with your credit reports.
- More than 60% of people didn’t know the first step to take if their identity was compromised or their credit cards hacked.
- And only 10 percent understand which Americans are truly most vulnerable to identity theft.
And for even more, you can head to Today.com.
Have a great day,
Jean
