LifeLock Spokesperson's Stolen ID Inspires Lawsuits 217

Posted by timothy on Thursday May 22, 2008 @02:34PM from the now-he-is-a-formless-protoplasmic-blob dept.

OrochimaruVoldemort writes "It seems as though LifeLock isn't as secure as Todd Davis makes it out. According to a LifeLock spokesman, his identity has been stolen. For two years, Davis has been daring hackers to steal his ID. Looks like he got what he wanted. CNN reports: 'Now, LifeLock customers in Maryland, New Jersey and West Virginia are suing Davis, claiming his service didn't work as promised and he knew it wouldn't, because the service had failed even him.'"

Now, LifeLock customers in Maryland, New Jersey and West Virginia are suing Davis[...]
Gee, let's hope they sue the right guy... They might accidentally sue the guy who stole his identity!

Apparently their business plan failed to account for people writing stuff down.

Well, since I cannot refuse a double dog dare, I'll first need your account number and routing number to proceed with the deposit.

NOW it was serious. A double-dog-dare. What else was there but a "triple dare ya"? And then, the coup de grace of all dares, the sinister triple-dog-dare.

The new news is that he is being sued. The old news is that identity thieves took his identity.
Well, then, he doesn't have to worry, then, huh? Because they'll be suing the thieves! Right? Right?

Paris noted that LifeLock charges $10 a month to set fraud alerts with credit bureaus, even though consumers can do it themselves for free.
Yeah, that's pretty damning. Similarly, I have it on good information that certain businesses calling themselves "taxi services" charge a few dollars per trip to convey people from one location to another, even though consumers can walk for free.

Submit a Bogus Tax Filing (Score:1, Funny)

Here's my idea... submit a bogus tax filing in April using his Social Security number. It's not the same as stealing his identity, but could cause a headache regardless...

The point being, you shouldn't give out your social security number.

Anyone else have any ideas?

What are these free ones? The only ones I see claim to be free then sign you up for a monthly fee on your credit card.

Send me $10 and I'll tell you about the free ones.
