what is a way to protect your social security number and other sensitive information?
 A way to protect your social security number and other sensitive information: Keep your card and any other document that shows your Social Security number in a safe place; DO NOT routinely carry your card or other documents that display your number. Be careful about sharing your number, even when you are asked for it; ONLY share your SSN when absolutely necessary. Protect your personal financial information at home and on your computer. Check your credit report annually.
