Protecting Your Identity with LifeLock

Did you know that there was yet another breach in security and your personal information could be at risk? This time Home Depot was the target, and just like last year when Target was attacked, your identity could be at risk. I am not generally the type to speak out on these types of subjects, other than sharing the information, but because I have been a LifeLock user for nearly 10 years, they are a company that I know, and trust.

Have you ever missed placed your wallet or credit card? I have. But, even though it is stressful knowing that someone, somewhere may have your personal information, LifeLock has always gave me peace of mind. They do not just monitor your credit card information for you, they monitor all of your information for you. Just last month I opened a new bank account, within in minutes I received a notification from LifeLock asking me to confirm that it was me that opened it. I also get monthly updates on credit reports, as well as e-mail notifications if someone on the sex offenders list moves in near by. Not to mention, their customer service rocks! Anytime I have a question I always get a quick and friendly response.

When the news hit of yet another security breach at a store I shop at, I was not worried because I knew that LifeLock had me covered. Not a member of LifeLock? Here are some simple and very helpful tips that they shared on how to protect your identity.

  • Monitor your transactions: Keep an eye on the activity on your credit and debit card accounts, looking for any charges that don’t seem to be yours.
  • Report suspicious transactions immediately: If you see a card transaction—even a small one—that doesn’t look right, contact the card issuer immediately. The phone number is on the back of your card.
  • Order a new debit card: If you believe your debit card number was compromised, don’t wait for fraudulent charges to start appearing on your statement. Request a new card from your bank. This way, you reduce the chances of a criminal depleting your bank account, and you avoid potential challenges in recovering your funds. Credit cards offer more protection and less risk because funds are not directly withdrawn from your bank account as they are with a debit card.
  • Follow the story: Investigation of this crime is still under way. Watch for news and communication from Home Depot.
  • Consider using an identity protection service: LifeLock provides identity protection products and services you can count on. In fact, with LifeLock Advantage™ and LifeLock Ultimate Plus™, we can help you detect fraudulent activity with alerts for cash withdrawals, balance transfers and large purchases within our extensive network.
