What’s the government doing to protect us from ID theft?

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

Identity theft is a crime that is growing – thieves steal the personal information of an unsuspecting victim and use it to obtain a credit card or line of credit, apply for a job or even commit a crime in that person’s name. And the offense often goes undetected for a long period of time; long enough for the criminal to do major damage to the victim’s bank account and credit.

Identity theft can range from irritating to life-shattering, but it only became recognized as a federal crime in 1998. What is the government doing to protect us?

In 2001, the federal banking agencies implemented an at that was meant to establish standards for safeguarding customer information.

And in 2003, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act was passed. This bill set up appropriate standards for the disposal of sensitive credit report information, as well as created guidelines for recognizing patterns and specific forms of identity theft in an effort to prevent this type of theft from happening.

In 2004, the identity theft act, which makes identity theft a federal crime that carries penalties of up to 15 years in prison, enabled the Secret Service, the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to fight identity theft.

Even with all of this, identity theft continues to be a growing problem. It seems no amount of laws or penalties will deter criminals from this crime.

Reduce Mail Offer Credit Related Fraud

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Mail is a prime target for criminals involved in identity theft, as many pieces of incoming or outgoing mail contain enough information about you to be useful for stealing your personal data. Pre-approved mailbox offers for credit are an especially easy target for identity thieves. When you sign up for LifeLock’s identity theft protection services, LifeLock works to reduce the number of pre-approved credit card offer mailing lists that your name appears on – reducing the possibility of someone rifling through your mail and stealing financial information to open credit accounts using your name.

The possibility that someone might use personal information stolen from mailboxes or acquired via the internet to open fraudulent credit accounts in your name is unfortunately not an insignificant one: (more…)

LifeLock Identity SDS Service

LifeLock Identity SDSTM Service for Protection Credit Monitoring Alone Cannot Provide

LifeLock’s new Identity SDS (Search, Detect, Secure) service gives members more complete protection from identity theft in its myriad forms, not just financial ID theft or credit card fraud.

Evidence of identity theft can often be spotted on credit reports as new credit card accounts or a precipitous drop in credit score. Though that type of financial identity theft may be the kind most people are familiar with, it might not be the most damaging.

That’s why LifeLock now offers their exclusive Identity SDS as part of their Command Center suite of services — a new kind of protection that is far more complete than credit monitoring alone. Identity SDS painstakingly searches millions of private and public records sources for any evidence that members’ identifying information is being used fraudulently to acquire payday loans or evade criminal arrest and prosecution.

LifeLock Command Center Searches Records for Evidence of Criminal ID Theft

Most people think of ruined credit when they hear the words “identity theft.” Financial identity theft can be devastating, but criminal identity theft can rob you of your reputation, your home, your family—even your freedom. That is why LifeLock Command Center digs deep into legal records for any indication their members’ personal or financial information may have been stolen.

Criminal identity theft is the use of a stolen identity to evade criminal prosecution. The crime often comes to light when the ID theft victim is denied a job or stopped for a minor traffic violation but quickly finds himself handcuffed accused of drug trafficking or worse.

LifeLock Command Center searches the records of country courts, departments of correction, administrative courts and other legal agencies for any appearance of members’ names, Social Security numbers and birth dates. If LifeLock finds evidence of members’ stolen information, they notify them immediately and help them navigate through the recovery process. (more…)

LifeLock Command Center: Personal review

Monday, December 14th, 2009

I just recently upgraded my LifeLock membership to include their new LifeLock Command Center™. I felt good about the services I was already getting from LifeLock, but because I know so many ID theft horror stories—some of them firsthand—I decided to pony up the extra $4 a month for the additional services available with Command Center™.

I’m impressed. Less than 48 hours after my upgrade I received extensive Command Center™reports from LifeLock that summarize the findings of all the efforts they’ve taken to protect me. (more…)
