Ah, the joke of a service, Lifelock, has found itself back in the news again. More information to show how “effective” their service is. Their own CEO has had his info compromised roughly 13 times.
From Phoenix New Times:
Full details as to what happened with these accounts could not be obtained from Davis. But it’s clear that criminals in different locales have used Davis’ ID to obtain a host of loans, goods, and services.
Davis’ personal ID hasn’t been merely abused since he began advertising his SSN — it’s been gang-raped.
Counting the Texas incident, he’s been a victim at least 13 times since 2007.
Sure, sign me up for a double dose of that nonsense.
I would love to get my hands on the full details of that hilarity! Wouldn’t it be fun to see the crap that he’s “purchased” over the last 2 years, or the accounts he’s opened …or the places he’s been arrested?

I’d have to do some research to see if it still holds water, but the service doesn’t claim to protect you from having your personal information abused. It claims to protect you from having your credit destroyed by said abuse.
If his credit is still fine, it did its job. It’s been a few years, but the last major report I saw on him, it looked like the service was still doing its job despite many accounts being opened in his name.
