Phishing Strikes Back

Posted by on May 22, 2008 | 3 Comments

Talk about simply asking for it! When LifeLock’s own CEO was found out to have his identity stolen after begging for it on all of those commercials, one has to question the wisdom of trusting a third party service to protect people from themselves. Seriously, the entire thing is just asinine.

Here are the facts – no one single service is going to stop someone from stealing your identity when you work so hard to flaunt your personal information. Yes, I am sure that LifeLock can help to a limited degree, but in the end, the results are in and apparently LifeLock is just not as effective as they first appeared to be.

So what do you think? Is trusting your identity with LifeLock such a great idea? Hit the comments, tell me what you think.

    My co-workers suspect they did that to lure the identity theives to somehow learn more about them.

    Well i think its never safe to give out our personal
    information .
    there have been instances were people have lost many of their personla data which are available with call center employees

    the best way to protect i guess be literate about the computer hacks
    and safegaurd all ur pvt data urself.

    lifelock is a simple system for those who would rather pay than check their credit reports themselves. actually ebay offers the same service for free. just read the details at his web space instead of running him down. eeb
