This is due largley to the shift of storing people's personal data on networked computers that can be penetrated by crackers.

However, it is not just crackers who can steal your personal information. Identities can be compromised in several ways. An example of a threat to your personal information that does not require a a computer science degree is an ID thief taking your trash before the garbage man does, and finding your unshredded personal information.
