LifeLock launches Strike Back Tour to stop identity theft
LifeLock has launched the Strike Back Tour for all the millions of people who have been victimized by identity theft, and all the billions of people whose personal information has been compromised by data breaches.
Beginning February 24, LifeLock will hold seminars and events in 13 cities to help consumers understand the severity of the problem and how to prevent it. At each stop, consumers will have an opportunity to sign the petition that asks Congress to take the following steps:
* Establish stronger penalties for data breaches
* Impose stronger penalties for identity thieves
* Beef up funding to law enforcement
* Outlaw the selling of personal information
* Limit use of Social Security numbers
The tour culminates in a March 6 stop on Capitol Hill, where they’ll deliver the Strike Back petition signed by 20,000 Americans. You can view the tour’s schedule and sign the petition at LifeLock.com.

More information about identity theft
The US Department of Justice has called identity theft the number one crime concern in the country, and acknowledges that it has become a primary focus of organized crime. Data breaches are commonplace, and are most often traced to irresponsible handling of personal information; stolen laptops seem to be the most common cause of compromised personal information. Since 2002, more than 64 billion records have been lost or stolen.
