I can’t imagine you haven’t seen the commericial but if you haven’t the CEO stands outside with a truck behind him. On the truck is his social security number. He speaks about how relaxed he is because of his company. Great sales speach…until this came out.
But according to a new class-action lawsuit filed last week in Jackson County, LifeLock’s identity theft protection services were so inept that Davis’ personal information was stolen repeatedly.
I won’t get into the issues with the service and the lawsuit as you can read about it here. But how dumb do you have to be to imagine that

- Criminals wouldn’t be able to slip something by someone long enough to get to you, or
- That once it did happen to you, the news would be everywhere.
So now he has to deal with lawsuits and his name was already plastered everywhere branding him an apparent failure evident in this last line of the article.
