The most common source of information for identity thieves is a lost or stolen wallet. Only LifeLock provides their customers with WalletLock, a service that helps to swiftly cancel the credit cards and official documents before thieves can use them. You have to wonder if the other companies aren’t aware of how important this protection is.

Only LifeLock monitors the thousands of known websites, chat rooms and forums that identity wholesalers use to buy, sell and trade stolen identities and personal financial information. Why don’t their competitors provide this service?

Only LifeLock monitors the millions of address changes submitted to the U.S. Postal Service. They created this service because they know ID thieves commonly divert their victims’ mail so they can more easily gather the information they need. If it happens to a LifeLock member, the company will be there to help protect them.

LifeLock knows there’s no way to absolutely prevent identity theft, but if their system ever fails in any way to protect a customer, they provide a $1,000,000 total service guarantee (Restrictions apply. See lifelock.com for details.)  and pay for any associated recovery costs.

Among them are the 150 or so people whose names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and driver’s license numbers were found on a list in Saeed Cousar’s home. And, among that 150 are some really unfortunate folks whose credit histories were also found with the list. (I’ll bet the members of that last bunch really wish they had LifeLock.)

From the beginning: A New Jersey man filed a complaint with police saying his credit card was compromised … to the tune of $50,000. Among the fraudulent purchases was a 2009 Ford Mustang.

The Denville, N.J. police worked on the investigation along with the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office, Jersey City Police, Jefferson police and the U.S. Post Office inspector service.

Cousar was already in jail when he was charged with the arrest warrant for that crime, after the Denville police searched his home.

Besides the list and credit histories, police found fraudulently obtained credit cards, and a computer and other equipment and materials used to make fake credit cards and checks.

More than 89,000 lucky lottery winners are getting the bad news from the Texas Lottery Commission that a former employee took their names, addresses, Social Security numbers and their prize amounts with him when he was fired last year.

The computer analyst copied the information onto computer disks that he took with him when he started his new job in the Texas Comptroller’s Office. He also took with him information on thousands of commission employees and lottery retailer and vendors.

The perpetrator said he wanted the information “for possible future reference as a programmer at other state agencies.”

Dawn Nettles, the commission’s unofficial security guru, said the files weren’t password protected, so the blame shouldn’t be limited to just the former employee.

“He should not have had any personal data on his work computer. However, he should not have been able to copy the files. There should have been a password required,” Nettles said.

A commission spokesman said officials are considering new security measures to better protect sensitive information, but have not yet adopted any new procedures.

The Travis County District Attorney’s office is still investigating the data breach. The former commission employee has not been charged.

The data breach victims are being advised to put fraud alerts on their credit records.

LifeLock begins their members’ identity theft protection with fraud alerts, but that’s only a small part of their comprehensive program. Visit LifeLock.com to learn more about WalletLock™, TrueAddress™ and eRecon™, their innovative and exclusive tools that help to protect your credit and your name.
