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.

What in the world is “clickjacking”? We have all heard the terms “hijacking” and “carjacking” and neither are crimes we want to ever be found a victim of. It is the same with “clickjacking” and it is a growing trend.

ComputerWorld.com has posted an informative article on “clickjacking”. Here are the details, according to Jeremiah Grossman, Chief Technology Officer at WhiteHat Security Inc:

“Think of any button on any Web site that you can get to appear between the browser walls. Wire transfers on banks, Digg buttons, CPC advertising banners, Netflix queue…. The list is virtually endless, and these are relatively harmless examples. Next, consider that an attack can invisibly hover these buttons below the users’ mouse, so that when they click on something they visually see, they actually are clicking on something the attacker wants them to.”
