I’ve had a LifeLock subscription for quite some time…and love it! Anytime I apply for a credit card (among other things), I receive notifications that an attempt was made. This is great to know, especially when it affects my credit score. I also receive notifications if my credit score changes and even if a registered sex offender moves to our area. Imagine how scary it would be if someone attempted to use your identity…and you didn’t even know about it!
Are you aware of the recent Anthem security breach, which could affect as many as 80 million customers??!!! A data breach occurs when confidential information, like your Social Security number, credit card number or health information, is exposed or accessed by an unauthorized person. Studies show that individuals who receive a data breach notification letter are more than four times as likely to become victims of identity theft.
LifeLock can help. The new LifeLock Ultimate Plus program offers several new activity alerts that add peace of mind against identity fraud in a digitally connected world. You can learn more about how data breaches occur HERE.
How can you protect yourself in the event a security breach has taken place? LifeLock suggests looking for evidence that your Social Security number has been misused. Remember, this may not happen today or next week. Often times, once a criminal has your information, they can sit on it for a long time (months or even years) before trying to use it. In some cases, they may sell it to other criminals. You’ll find more information in this brochure from the Social Security Administration.
Lifelock is a great service! Be sure to protect your identity with LifeLock today!

Identity theft is so real with all of these online hackers now. I definitely get worried for my family
I am going to look into getting LifeLock. I already know a few people who have been victims of identity theft.
We recently got a data breach form for my son. It’s sad that we can’t even take our children to the doctor without their info being compromised.
Since I work online mist of the time, my husband is always worried that someone might steal our identity. We are thinking about getting this LIfelock as recommended by our neighbor.
If i’m not mistaken, this is what my husband used considering I do online stuff so I’m very careful of what I shared. It is very important to used one as we don’t know what kind of people are around us.
I so agree. This is important to protect yourself.
I have not used Lifelock but I’ve thought about getting it. It’s really hard to believe that people can steal your information and identity so easily.
I have had my information one too many times and don’t want to go through this again. I’m definitely am going to start using lifelock after I have heard so many good things about it.
It sucks so much to have to go through this.
I had my identity stolen when I was very young. What a mess that was to clean up. My husband has had a few instances with his ex, so thankfully we had Lifelock to save us.
This is something that’s always terrified me. So glad to know that there’s a service out there like this.
I’ve heard great things about LifeLock and I have been meaning to check it out. Thanks for sharing.
I had my identity stolen several years ago and it was a nightmare. it took years to get my name completely cleared. This is a service well worth every penny.
Lifelock is great- so important to protect our identity! Thanks so much!
This definitely saves you time on worrying what do to in order to make your most sensitive information more secure. I think aside from this, making sure to read up on information security for your personal awareness is also important.
My mom has experienced data breach several times with her credit card. Someone used her number online. Good thing the deed was reported quickly and the bank called her for purchase verification.
I have been a Lifelock customer for a few years now. Love the services that they provide.
We’ve never tried LifeLock but I know it is something that we need to look into. With all these hacking happening lately, we got to make our online safety a priority.
My hubby had a friend that had his identity stolen afew years ago! Now my hubby is super paranoid and is so careful about everything!
Our family uses lifelock and we just love it. It’s so nice having that extra security.
My Mom experienced identity woes with someone with the same exact name as she. It’s really hard to get this type of stuff sorted out, so having any type of protection really comes in handy.
I’ve had my credit card number stolen multiple times, but luckily, never my identity. I know I couple people who have had their identities stolen and it was a huge issue. It took them multiple years to get it all resolved.
It absolutely boggles my mind the way criminals can steal your life right out from under you. The fact that this kind of protection is so very necessary is scary in its own way. 🙁
It is always super wise to protect ourselves especially online.
I think I need to look into Lifelock for my Family, their safety is most important.
Fraud protection is so important. Life Lock is a great tool to have in your family safety tool belt.
Recently hearing of friend’s stories on Facebook about having their credit cards stolen online has made me want to learn more about products that protect us from fraud. It’s a scary thing to have someone parading around as you using your credit and putting you at risk to lose everything.
