by forgery

by fraud

Explanation:

According to the US Government itself:

"Identity theft occurs when an  unauthorized party uses your personally  identifying information, such as your  name, address, Social Security Number  (SSN), or credit card or bank account  information to assume your identity in  order to commit fraud or other criminal  acts."

Criminals can obtain your information by Phishing, which means that they'll create a false website for you to, if distracted enough, put in your personal information. They can also obtain it by finding your wallet, checking your trash or stealing your mail, for example. There's a change that some product that you bought was a fraud meant to get data. And there's also the chance of people using your picture or your name to create a forgery (as in a fake ID or something else).
