As part of ICT project for a social change, our team of 5 created this project to help many people and prevent them from being a victim of the said issue. With this, the group created its first version of the website in December 15, 2021 and updated and revised it for a deeper audience experience this January 5, 2022.

overall conclusion
In the survey conducted on random people who use the internet, it can be observed that people ranging from 13-45 years old are the ones who mostly use the internet and majority of them are females.
​
Among these respondents, the majority of them surf the internet for more than 8 hours a day which shows that many people are deeply involved with the internet. This conclusion is further supported by the fact that more than half of the respondents share their personal information, pictures, or videos online.
​
Fortunately, most of the respondents are aware of the identity theft and the precautionary measures they can take to protect themselves from this crime. This could be the reason behind the fact that the majority of the responses shows that neither themselves nor the people they know have been a victim of identity theft.
However, there are still people in the minority who are not aware of the identity theft and the precautions that can be taken against it. That is why some have experienced being a victim of identity theft, with hacking as the main reason.
​
Therefore, the project aims to educate the netizen population about identity theft in order to reduce the percentage of identity theft victims even more.
