At least 12.7 billion records of data were breached in 2019 alone. Identity thieves are those who try to impersonate you to gain access to your belongings. Amazon, Dropbox, LinkedIn, Yahoo (just to name a few) of the giants have experienced breaching before (Please note that breaches could mean some and rarely all sensitive information were compromised).
