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…)

LifeLock’s new Command Center service provides an additional level of ID theft protection that’s very good news for their nearly 1.5 million current members and for new LifeLock members.
For current members, LifeLock Command Center is an optional add-on to the already extensive steps LifeLock has been providing. New enrollees can choose between LifeLock’s existing, industry leading suite of service and LifeLock’s Command. (more…)

Here’s how we’d like to think of it: Prison inmates are the stupid ones and their keepers are the smart ones.
Here’s how it really is: An unnamed New Hampshire prison employee assigned prisoners to work in a warehouse where they had access to Corrections Department records, including a list of ALL department employees and their Social Security numbers.
Big surprise: An inmate in a Concord minimum-security prison absconded with the list, which was discovered in his cell during a routine search.
The employee information included names, titles, positions, departments, labor grades and Social Security numbers of the roughly 1,000 people employed in the Corrections Department as of March 2008. (more…)

We’ve been using shredders for about 15 years now. First there was the strip cutter, then the shredder that could chew up credit cards and CDs, then there was the crosscut shredder, and finally we have the shredder that totally pulverizes documents, leaving them looking much like the takings from the dryer’s lint filter.
But all those improvements don’t matter if you’re not shredding the right stuff, and the idea of what we need to shred has been through several permutations, too. So whether you’ve been shredding for years or you’re new to the practice, here’s the latest on what you need to shred. (more…)

How bad can ID theft get? Bad enough to force you to change your name, Social Security number and the name of your established business. That’s been the experience of Marcoos Tyrell, from Birmingham, Alabama.
Born Marcoos Thomas, Tyrell, now 38, started his own business when he was only 17. But in 2008, after 20 years of teaching piano classes through his business, The Thomas Keyboard Club, identity theft changed everything.
Tyrell learned of the ID theft the way many victims do: the bill collectors began calling. At first it was “just” credit card bills. Then it was traffic tickets. And then things got really bad. (more…)

If you’re already defaulting on your student loan, you might be praying that the state agency that manages it would somehow just lose the promissory note, thereby letting you off the hook.
Florida students got only half of what they wished for, and a whole lot of something they never wanted. (more…)

Uber-hacker Max Ray Vision entered a guilty plea on two charges of wire fraud in federal court yesterday.
Vision, 36, has been called a mild-mannered geek, a hacker’s hacker, a Dr. Jeckyll-Mr. Hyde type and the most interesting hacker ever. He was a black-hat hacker, a white-hat consultant and the owner and ruler of CardersMarket.com, an online forum where 6,000 people bought, sold and traded stolen personal and financial information.

LifeLock was the first identity theft protection service to recognize the necessity of protecting children from ID theft, and to provide the services to do so. Now they’re stepping up once again to protect children through their partnership with a national mentoring advocacy program.
LifeLock is underwriting MENTOR’s congressionally established SafetyNET Program, which provides nationwide FBI background checks on volunteers who work with children—the segment of our population most vulnerable to crimes, including identity theft. (more…)
