Muhammad Key · Answer 1

The best way a bank can protect a victim of identity theft is to freeze his or her account. By freezing the account, no future purchases can be made from an unexpected user on the account. This allows time for the account owner to figure out what purchases were not made by them and the bank to collect the funds back.
