Why buy LifeLock? Aren’t I protected if I just keep my personal information in a safe place and don’t shop online? Does LifeLock have any value? LifeLock is a good solution for those who feel that they are at risk of identity theft.

Here is a recent news story from the New Hampshire UnionLeader.com: Thousands in New Hampshire and Massachusetts probably felt that they were safe, until they were notified that some personal data that was backed up on a media device was stolen over the summer. A Ford/Toyota dealership had customer financial data stolen which contained names, addresses and social security numbers. The information was stolen and reported back in August.

Police have reported that they have not found any evidence that the information has been used as a means of stealing anyone’s identity, however, the dealership does strongly recommend that those who are affected get a fraud alert placed on their credit file.

The exact number of customers affected is not yet known, however, it does number into the thousands.
