So happy to hear that my daughter succeeded in protecting one of her digital identity from being stolen. Thanks to critical thinking on her part, the cybercriminal, who has managed to stole the digital identities of her friends, failed to steal hers 🙂

In short: thief claimed & said some things, to fool my daughter into giving access to her digital identity.
She was skeptical at first. Did some cross-checking. Instantly found irregularities. End up having fun ridiculing the thief 🙂

I hope she will continue to develop this skillset, and reap even more of its benefits all her life.

TIP: sometimes the thief forgot to change the email address registered to your digital identity / account.
In this case, you'll be able to request new password, which then will be sent into your email address; and use it to regain access to your account.
