Students, protect your identity!
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is campaigning at Universities across the country, urging students to protect themselves against identity theft by thinking before giving personal information away. Students are a particularly vulnerable group when it comes to having personal information used and abused! The "Protect and Respect" campaign is currently underway at Manchester University.
