Data theft

Data theft is when someone takes information from you without your permission. It's a kind of stealing, but instead of taking something physical, they're taking digital information. This might be information like your credit card number, passwords, or bank account information. It can also mean someone taking pictures or videos of you without your permission. Data theft is a serious crime, so always make sure you are careful with how you protect your information.
