to stay safe when you're out in the world?

- If it's a busy street you have to hold your mom

or your dad or your brother or your sister's hand.

- Don't climb on the counter

because you might hurt yourself.

- Do not (indistinct) the subway.

- I cough into my elbow.

- [Host] As parents, we do our best to teach our kids

how to stay safe in the real world.

But are parents doing enough

to keep their family safe online?

Identity fraud losses totaled $16.9 billion in 2019.

Families with children under 18 are 128% more likely to be

victims of identity fraud compared to the average American.

And families pay more than twice as much out of pocket as

non families as a result of identity fraud.

But there are ways to help reduce

the risk of this from happening to your family

and still make the most of the internet.

92% of Americans say they care about online safety,

but their actions show otherwise.

- [Interviewer] Do you have different passwords

for all your accounts?

- No.

- It's like a variation of the same one.

- [Interviewer] Have you deleted all the social media

accounts that you don't use?

- No.

- Yes.

- [Interviewer] Do you use mobile payment apps?

- I don't trust it.

- Yes.

- Yes, I do my best.

- Most certainly not, no.

I know it's more secure but it's more of a hassle and

a bunch of more numbers and passwords.

- I use my hands to shred them.

- I tear 'em up, but not nearly enough as I should.

- Tear it this way, I'll tear it sideways.

- [Host] While we should all be saying yes to

more of these questions and practicing safe online habits,

many of us aren't.

The majority of people use one or a handful of different

passwords for all their accounts and a third have shared

their password with others.

So why is identity protection important and how can you help

keep yourself safe online?

- [Interviewer] Now, does everyone know what a footprint is?

Yes?

Oh, okay yes!

What would happen if I followed your footprint?

- You'll (indistinct) I accidentally have footprints

to bury treasure, you might have find the treasure.

- Yes, that's exactly it!

Now, when mommy or daddy log on the computer to maybe order

a pizza or suppose you watch a movie together.

They give the company information about them

and the company remembers it.

It's like leaving a footprint on that website.

And that's what's called a digital footprint.

Sometimes bad people follow other people's footprints,

steal secret information and steal their money

to buy 100 pizzas all for themselves.

Is that okay?

Do you think that's right?

No, that's not okay.

Just like when we're crossing the street,

there are things that we can do

to help protect ourselves and stay safe.
