Identity Theft Awareness Week starts today

FTC

Identity theft is one of the most-reported problems to the FTC every year. So, chances are, it’s affected you or someone you know. That’s why the FTC and its partners dedicate a week to raising awareness and organizing events to help everyone protect and recover from identity theft.

Sharing resources and talking about identity theft year-round can make a big difference. To get involved in Identity Theft Awareness Week (IDTAW) 2026:

• Join one of the events listed below and at ftc.gov/IDTheftWeek
• Find social media images at the bottom of ftc.gov/IDTheftWeek and share them to engage others in the conversation (use the hashtags #IDTheftWeek and #IDTheft)
• View and share videos on identity theft with your community and network.
