Identity theft and identity theft protection is taking center stage at the White House, as well as many homes around the nation. This appears to be good news for all of us in the long-term. Penalties for identity theft will be increased, etc.
Any tangible outcome from this id theft task force is probably years away. However, what this highlights again is the severity and magnitude of the issue. We recommend you buy identity theft protection today for you and your family. It comes at a nominal price of less than $10 per month, and will let you sleep at night knowing your identity is secure.
We recommend either LifeLock or Debix. From fraud alerts and removal from pre-approved credit cards to identity insurance both companies have a lot to offer us consumers. If our friends in Washington solve the problem (don’t hold your breath), you can always cancel.
