Aura

The internet is a place that allows you to explore a vast arena and browse online for fun and essential business. You’re probably doing everything from banking and working to shopping and scrolling social media while using multiple devices, apps, and websites.

But in spite of the benefits of online browsing, your digital footprint is everywhere and it can open you up to security risks such as identity theft and fraud.

Identity theft can come in many forms, such as:

• Financial: Using your personal information to open new bank accounts, take over existing accounts, and to finance purchases with your credit history
• Criminal: Using your identity while getting arrested and registering crimes under your name
• Physical: Registering your mailing address to reroute mail or registering property deeds in their name
• Governmental: Filing taxes with your SSN to receive your tax refund
• Medical: Receiving treatments through your insurance
• Family: Commiting fraud with a child’s identity

Due to these risks, it’s important that you take preventative measures to protect yourself. That’s where Aura comes in.
