Witness the recent news involving the Federal Trade Commission and LifeLock Inc., one of the leading companies in the identity-theft protection business.
The FTC has filed charges alleging that LifeLock violated a 2010 settlement in which the company vowed to stop making deceptive claims about its services and implement stronger measures to safeguard its own customers’ personal data, including credit card, Social Security and bank account numbers.
