Consumers warned vs identity thieves

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on Tuesday reminded financial consumers to be vigilant against identity theft by always protecting their personal identification number (PIN) and password.

“To guard against identity thieves, the BSP advises financial consumers to always select a PIN or password that is easy to remember but is not based on obvious personal information such as a birthday, an anniversary, an address or a telephone number,” it said in a statement.
