Review bank and credit card statements regularly
The impact of identity theft and online crimes can be greatly reduced
if you can catch it shortly after your data is stolen or when the first use
of your information is attempted. One of the easiest ways to get the
tip-off that something has gone wrong is by reviewing the monthly
statements provided by your bank and credit card companies for
anything out of the ordinary.
Additionally, many banks and services use fraud prevention systems
that call out unusual purchasing behavior (i.e. if you live in Texas and
all of the sudden start buying refrigerators in Budapest). In order to
confirm these out of the ordinary purchases, they might call you and
ask you to confirm them. Don't take these calls lightly; this is your hint
that something bad may have happened and you should take
necessary action.
Protect your computer with Windows security tools

Windows Action Center

security settings of your computer, helping you to protect it from
Internet attacks and ensuring that the latest security updates have
been downloaded and installed on your computer.
