LifeLock Spokesperson's Stolen ID Inspires Lawsuits

Posted by timothy on 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.'"

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

    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?
