Now this is the Obama FTC, so take the claims with a grain of salt.

Is Life Lock run by conservatives?

[Crim]

Probably because it’s keeping illegals from getting their hands on those ID’s.

Dear Leader is not pleased.

[freeangel]

Lo loll! This is from a government agency whose government authority was just hacked to the tune of over 20 million people? Yep, they sure know a lot about cyber security.

[ConservativeMind]

This administration fines every possible entity to then hand that money over to community organizing groups.

I am sick to no end of this administration's attacks against America. They don't end.

However, it does make me smile when I think of the ways to defund and repeal all of their cr@p. :-)

[Pearls Before Swine]

You mean, the Obama administration supports profit sharing through identity theft? Plausible.

Now this is the Obama FTC, so take the claims with a grain of salt.

Yeah, meanwhile Bath-house Barry Benghazi's OPM is just the absolute paragon of data security ...

35% hit in the stock price. I wonder who in Washington shorted the stock first. Might be a bargain to pick up some shares.

The type of transaction analysis done by these types of services is adaptable to law enforcement. Makes me wonder if they didn’t cross paths with some Government agencies that then were impeded by Lifelock.

Relational transaction analysis is a powerful tool and it fuels the desire for organizations like the NSA to gather and catalog simply anything and everything.

It strikes a wrong nerve with me that I should be asked to pay a fee in order to receive the benefits of normal, legal protection. It rings of “protection money,” and gives a sense that, if I am not inclined to pay their fee, they could find ways to make me wish I did. Is that not what the mafia is all about?

I use Experian credit monitoring service, which I gather is similar to LifeLock.

I also have a credit security freeze in place with the big 3, which means NO information is accessible from credit inquiries.

I think Lifelock is deceptive. I signed up with one of their programs thinking I was going to pay $19.95 a month. I wasn’t paying attention to my bank statements for a month or two, by the time I checked it they had been charging me almost $60 a month! Turns out they upcharged me for a premium program I didn’t want, plus added my wife to it, which I also didn’t want, which doubled the cost.

I would rather have been hacked, the thieves would have stolen less than Lifelock. At least my bank could have recovered what thieves stole.

[Amendment10]

This is déjà vu of Y2K problem.

And there may be a major constitutional problem with federal government investigating this issue. More specifically, LifeLock seems to be providing insurance. And if such is the case, and regardless what lawless Obama’s activist justices want everybody to think about the constitutionality of Obamacare insurance for example, please consider the following.

The Supreme Court has historically clarified that insurance is not commerce but a contract, the point being that Congress’s power to regulate interstate commerce (1.8.3) does not extend to regulating insurance, regardless if parties negotiating insurance contract are domeciled in different states.

"4. The issuing of a policy of insurance is not a transaction of commerce [emphasis added] within the meaning of the latter of the two clauses, even though the parties be domiciled in different States, but is a simple contract of indemnity against loss.” — Paul v. Virginia, 1869.

Note that the states can grant the corrupt feds the specific power to regulate ID theft issues by appropriately amending the Constitution.

But it remains that the legal system’s tradition advice for consumers, “let the buyer beware,” is probably the best remedy for concerns about how LifeLock conducts business.

They advertise on Rush, par for the course.

Once upon a time when the government went after an entity it was immediately assumed there was some illegality or impropriety being investigated.
That is no longer the first thought by many Americans, and that is very troubling.
