Shopping Online Safely - Steps I Take to Protect Myself (page 4)
The Ultimate in Security
Despite all your best efforts to protect your financial information, it’s still possible that your information may fall into the wrong hands. This fact has given rise to a new identity protection service that takes agressive measures to protect your financial and personal information.
This increasingly popular service monitors your credit report on a regular basis and alerts you if anyone tries to open credit in your name. In addition, these types of services sometimes provide insurance to pay for losses you may experience as a result of theft of your identity. It’s a service I’ve not yet purchased, but I’m seriously considering doing so. It’s just another level of protection that I think will help ease my mind from the worry of online theft.
One of the primary organizations offering this new service is LifeLock. The CEO of this company is so confident in the effectiveness of their service that he freely shares his social security number with the world. That’s a startling vote of confidence for his company’s services.
