Now I feel obligated to provide as many fake login credentials as I can if I ever receive a phising email. 

Speaking of which, there has to be a way to automate this. Even if it's blatantly obvious the credentials are fake, you can still swamp them if you generate a massive enough volume.

Lifelock is the front end of Transunion. I'm not surprised.

Isn't it ironic?  😼

I don't know about the rest of you, but I have always found LifeLock to be a strange company that never offered what you paid for to begin with.  That being said, I had once joined LIfeLock for the trial.  I still get offers in the mail telling me that "I'm missed..." and I can enjoy a $20 VISA card or something like that.  They go in the shredder every time, but this cannot bode well for the company.

I don't like that their customer's were put at risk, but I do find it kind of funny (and silly...) that LifeLock got hacked.  🙉

Stay vigilant because nobody else will do it for you...  👍

TBH, I never thought it was worth it anyways. Why have all your financial info stored in one place, for that eventual hack?
