Don't throw away your boarding pass!
Find out how indentity thieves are using your boarding pass to steal your information.

What do you do with your boarding pass? You probably just throw it away, right? Well don't do that!

The bar code on that boarding pass actually contains a treasure trove of passenger information that hackers can get, if they know how.

They can uncover your name, phone number, frequent flier number, and flight information -- all of which can be used to access an account and take control of it.
