Most of you, if not all of you, have heard of the recent hacking of major retail store chains and a certain entertainment group. Even Anthem, a huge and well-respected insurance company, suffered a security breach just a few weeks back which is affecting millions of Americans. This begs the question, if these large organizations can be hacked, then why can’t my personal accounts be hacked, too? That’s a good question. The answer is that they probably can be hacked fairly easily for a decent hacker. And that could mean loads of trouble for you and your family. It could mean stolen identities, drained bank accounts and huge charges on your credit card that you did not charge.

Identity theft scares me. My sister had her identity stolen and she isn’t even on the internet. They got it worked out pretty quickly though.
Wow! Everybody thinks about online identity theft, but we have to remember that identities get stolen in many ways.
Identity theft scares the absolute crap out of me. All it takes is one jerk to get anything on me, and my life is in complete shambles.
I feel you on that. There are so many people who just absolutely refuse to get things the right way – they just have to take advantage of others. It’s crazy.
It’s so sad that identity theft is so common! However, LifeLock always gives me a sense of security and a peace of mind.
The amount of stores that are getting hacked lately is crazy! I have looked into Life Lock before and it seems like a great program to help keep your information.
It kind of sounds like a no brainer. No one wants their identity stolen and this seems like just the thing to protect us.
I’ve had to get new debit cards twice after the Home Depot thing and another large department store had a breech. Thankfully, my card wasn’t compromised, but we can never be careful enough.
Thanks so much for sharing this, everyone should know how to protect themselves online. I worry often about my identiy getting stolen so I’ll be sure to check out lifelock. It would offer peace of mind so that I could continue to be active online without worrying.
This sounds like a great security measure to take. It’s important to be safe about these things nowadays.
Hopefull I won’t need this but it’s good to be prepared. This would beep my mind at ease.
I think I have heard of this before and meant to look into getting it. Going to go check it out now.
Our neighbor has been encouraging us to get this as they guarantee protection. This is definitely one of the many important things in our list to get soon.
I have Lifelock since I’ve been through Identity theft a number of times. It’s so horrible now a days.
I have had my checks stolen & she used my name to open up an ATT account. It was a nurse on the first floor who took care of the older woman who lived there. I was so mad. I actually had to do my own investigation because the cops were useless. Everything seems ok on credit report now though.
Oh my goodness. Did you file charges against her or anything? Glad you were able to get it straightened out at least.
Identity theft is so scary. It’s great that LifeLock exists.
Identity theft seems to be more and more prevalent. I really should take some better steps for protection.
I’ve been hearing great things about Life Lock, I really need to try them out.
I have been the victim of fraud on my debit card several times this past year due to the fact that I shop a lot for my clients. I really need to get LifeLock
Oh I hate that for you. You definitely need to look into LifeLock.
I need to look more into this. It’s important to have a plan!
Lifelock sounds like the perfect program for my family. Identity theft is such a scary thing.
This is such a great program! I need to look into it!
It’s always smart to find ways to protect your identity on and off line! 🙂
Lifelock is really great for protecting one’s identity! I need to look into it more now that we have left North Carolina (not available there).
This is definitely something we all need! Online theft and fraud are real deal now!
LifeLock sounds like such a great service. Identify theft is such a problem these days, it’s important to protect yourself however you can.
Luckily, I’ve never had my identity stolen. I’ve heard lots of great things about LifeLock though.
This is a scary thing. I have never had to deal with this. (knock on wood) I have been hearing more and more about LifeLock and it seems to be worth taking the time to look into.
LifeLock has been such a huge sense of security for me. I love knowing there’s someone protecting me!
LifeLock provides such a great service. Everyone I know that has them, feels much safer!
Identity theft is so scary nowadays! I still remember those LifeLock commercials, so poignant
I’ve definitely thought of getting this. It’s scary to think that someone can pirate your identity and all but ruin you financially.
It’s very scary to think the amount of things someone could find from you being online. Thanks for sharing this!
I’ve just had huge issues with malware on my blog – and that was stressful – I don’t even want to think about Identity Theft – but as my blog site showed me, you have to keep up on protecting yourself more now than ever!
It is horrible, and so stressful, when something happens to your blog. I hope that you were able to get it all fixed.
We have life lock and we love it. Kiddos mom (hubs ex) tried to use his social security and say they are still married. So we had to put things on lock down. Gives us a piece of mind.
See, even those closest to you try this stuff. It’s not just the anonymous online hacker that you have to worry about anymore. So sad.
This is great information. With the things going on these days you need to protect everything. Great review!
I’ve been wanting to get LifeLock. After working with them, I learned so much and we really do need that protection.
Identity theft is so terrible. I just experienced this with my bank account. It was so awful and I wish I had this service.
It really is. When I was a teen and opened my first bank account I found out someone had been using my social security number. I learned about identity theft at a very young age.
That is one of the worst types of identity theft in my opinion. So many people’s credit gets ruined before they even get to use it themselves.
Oh I hate to hear that. I hope that you were able to get everything resolved.
I think every little thing we can do to help protect ourselves is smart. Thank you for sharing this very welcome to hear news.
We have been fortunate to not have to deal with this, but it is great to be prepared. What a great service.
I have heard a lot about this. Sounds like a great service.
Identity theft has to be such a scary thing to happen to someone! It’s relieving to know that there are effective security measures like this one out there!
It is definitely important to monitor your identity. We have a similar service that gives us monthly status updates, it’s always nice to see that “no new activity” email notice in my inbox.
Identity theft is so scary, it’s something I’m scared about anytime I have input my information anywhere. I have gotten my bank account stolen numerous times, but that’s as far as it has ever gone for me.
Numerous times? Oh no, that is horrible. I think you should definitely check into LifeLock.
I have to check on and read more about LifeLock. Identity theft is scary but it’s great to know that there are things, preventive measures that can be done about it.
I haven’t but the idea makes me nervous. Sounds like Lifelock is a great help.
Unfortunately, I have had my identity stolen. Very frustrating.
I am so sorry to hear that. I hope that you were able to get everything straightened out.
Protecting ourself is so important especially online – you won’t know until it has been done to you.
I check my bank statements and credit score often, and I am very scared about identity theft. Thanks for a great post!
I’m very security conscious, so I don’t worry about it too much. In addition, we lost our business during the recession that completely destroyed our credit, so even if our ID did get stolen, it wouldn’t do anyone any good.
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your business.
It is so important for people to be protected from identity thief because it can effect every part of someones life. Life lock is perfect for protecting and I have never heard anything bad about them ever. Thanks for sharing.
Seriously, when you stop to think of it…we are soooo vulnerable for identity theft on so many levels, to the mischievous swipes of credit cards when we are out shopping to a fraudulent billing agent taking down people’s social security numbers to shopping online. It’s enough to make your head spin.
I know. And the damage someone can do by stealing your identity in minutes can take you years to clean up. It’s great to have a company like LifeLock on your side.
My family uses Lifelock and we are so thankful for that extra protection. So worth the investment!
It’s always terrible when you have your identity and/ or money stolen. I have had this happen and perhaps should consider looking into LifeLock when I move back to the States. Thanks!
Being safe is so important – it is amazing how so many are getting hacked!
With all these news about identity theft or online hacking, it can be really scary. Good to know about this. Will check it out!
I have had the Lifelock service the last few years and like having it. Anytime someone tries to use my info or when I use it to try to apply I am notified. I also like that it notifies me of sex predators in my area.
Oooh, the sex predator thing is interesting. I had no idea it would inform you about that sort of danger. Thanks for sharing.
We love Lifelock. I couldnt see us being without it. You can never be too careful these days.
That’s for sure. You just can’t be safe enough.
Lifelock sounds really good. It seems so necessary too. You really can never be too careful.
we try to be very cautious online. I’ll have to look into Lifelock for more security
I love LifeLock I have been using it since I fist went to college and I still use it today. Can never be too careful when going online.
I’ve really been meaning to sign up wtih LifeLock. We had a run-in with identity theft a few years ago. It wasn’t fun!
I really need to sigh up for this service! I am going to check it out!
It’s so scary to think of all the info that can be stolen online! I really need to look into Lifelock!
I really need to get this set up. Can’t ever be too safe.
Identity theft really scares me. Thanks for these tips.
As a poor college student I always thought I was immune from identity theft but it turned out to be otherwise!
Oh that stinks! I hope that you were able to work it all out.
With technology being so prevalent in our lives it makes real sense to look into a product like Lifelock to protect our information. Thank you for sharing your informative and helpful post! Gave me something to think about!
I had an issue with this over the winter months, really stunk! Thank you for sharing this helpful information to help prevent it from happening to others.
