A New Jersey father says hackers stole his identity in late September, and he's still fighting them months later.

The victim, Dan, who chose not to reveal his last name, spoke to CBS News New York recently about his harrowing experience. According to him, fraudsters gained access to both his and his wife's accounts at the same time — and they've been wreaking havoc.

"Somebody had hacked into my personal bank account, took money out, and applied for a loan," he explained to investigative reporter Mahsa Saeidi. "They had applied for 18 credit cards, and my credit was stellar. They took over my Amazon account as well. Days and days and days of my life trying to get my identity back."
