Managing Financial Information — Quiz

Question 19 • Personal Finance

Which of these scenarios most puts Margaret at risk of identity theft?

Answer
A
Margaret manages her bank account through its website while using a restaurant’s public wifi.
B
Margaret manages her bank account by calling her bank directly and using personal information for identification.
C
Margaret manages her bank account by visiting a local branch and signing paperwork for the bank teller.
D
Margaret manages her bank account by keeping personal records to compare to the bank’s records.

Explanation

Using public Wi-Fi to access a bank account can expose Margaret’s login details or other personal information, especially if the connection is not secure. Calling the bank directly or visiting a branch are safer ways to verify her identity. Keeping personal records to compare with bank records does not, by itself, increase her risk of identity theft.
