You can protect your money and identity with the help of an online security service.
Identity and theft are two words that, together, make most people cringe. Millions of people around the world are affected every year, whether it's in the form of credit card fraud or other banking fraud, misrepresentation, or the full-on "I'm that person now" type that can take years to sort out.
Unfortunately, identity theft isn't going away. You still have rudimentary credit and debit card skimmers overtop of ATMs, but our modern, connected world makes it easier for thieves to get ahold of your sensitive info without leaving home. Not only can a hacked password be troublesome, full-blown data breaches are prime offenders when it comes to leaking your information. That website you signed up for a couple of years ago that required a lot of sensitive information has been hacked and — gasp! — your name is on the list.
Hopefully, this hasn't actually happened to you, but if it has, an online security service — think LifeLock, Identity Guard, IdentityForce — can definitely help. Even if you don't know whether or not your info has been leaked, there are a few reasons why you might want to start subscribing now.
