LifeLock CEO's Identity Stolen 13 Times (http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/05/lifelock-identity-theft)

Apparently, when you publish your Social Security number prominently on your website and billboards, people take it as an invitation to steal your identity.

LifeLock CEO Todd Davis, whose number is displayed in the company’s ubiquitous advertisements, has by now learned that lesson. He’s been a victim of identity theft at least 13 times, according to the Phoenix New Times.

That’s 12 more times than has previously been known.

The reputation of the company is shit now.... It was clever advertising but unfortunatly it failed to prove the company can protect ur identity

I'm kind of impressed actually.

This dude put his social security number on National TV, Numerous Text Publications and the Internet and it was only stolen 13 times.

You figure a normal person gets their identity stolen by just shopping on the internet.

Wow that's sad. They got fined $12 million for deceptive advertising. I don't know why he thought they could protect his credit from a nation full of thieves...any shady business could open up an account for someone and "claim" that they had proper identification, etc.

only twelve times? with an average of $200 at each spot? all things considered thats not that bad. But the worst part, is that it only proves that he's running a scam! fucking awesome!
