Lifelock Worries After Employee Data Leaked To Web

itwbennett writes "Last week, Phoenix New Times reporter Ray Stein revealed that LifeLock CEO Todd Davis (who famously published his Social Security number in LifeLock ads) had been the victim of identity theft at least 13 times. This week, LifeLock made it clear that it's not so cavalier with its employees' personal data. The company asked the New Times to remove from its website a police report containing a redacted Social Security number, date of birth, address, and phone number of Lifelock employee Tamika Jones. In an interview, Stein said that the fact that LifeLock had to call and ask for the document to be removed reflected badly on Lifelock's service. 'I think this shows clearly that they know that it's got potential problems.'"

    Police fucked up redacting a public record when they made it public. Lifelock moved to correct. If anything, this speaks well of lifelock, they did what they were supposed to. Nothing to see here, move along.

    Nice straw man. The real story is that the police are releasing this data and that lifelock can't be expected to watch the entire internet 24/7 but they're catching blame from this anyway somehow.
