This is a hilarious way to start 2023.

If folks want security and privacy they need to stick to dogs and cats!

The penalty for hacking needs to be hanging. Our governments do NOTHING.

[Larry Lucido]

Good thing they had LifeLock.

[skimbell]

You couldn’t sit down and think this stuff up.

[beekay]

Not a great endorsement for Norton LifeLock.

[Delta 21]

IRONY much?

[popdonnelly]

Great. Now what do I do?

[KarlInOhio]

I'll file this with videos of a fire station burning down.

I’ve had LifeLock for probably 15 years now.... Didn’t get anything from them about a data breach but I do when anyone else does.

[Gene Eric]

The week of WEF. Imagine that

[mombonn]

Lifelock is the worst online experience I’ve ever had. Signed up for a year, didn’t renew. Completely useless and consumer unfriendly.

Today I received a check for $5.21 from the Equifax Breach settlement

Maybe I can buy an egg or two.

I store my own passwords and other sensitive info in local text files that I encrypt with my local 'vim' text editor. Infinitely more secure than using an online password manager.

To encrypt a file using vim:

set cm=blowfish2
set key=<secret key>
w mysecrets.txt

When you open the file going forward, you'll be required to provide the secret key. Vim is available for Windows as well as MacOS and Linux.

This also has the advantage that you can protect arbitrary text.

So far, no hackers have managed to access the piece of paper on which my passwords are scribbled.

[jdsteel]

Life lock used to be good. It stinks now, and I will not renew my membership.

[from occupied ga]

Rather ironic

[Republican Wildcat]

How ironic.

Though...people don’t provide them information for safe storage - it is a monitoring service for if someone uses information that was breached they will catch it and stop them in their tracks.

Now that will put this system to the test.

[Sparticus]

Oh, the irony! It burns

[minnesota_bound]

Yet another reason not to get Norton.
I use to have to guide someone in uninstalling it when I worked at Earthlink ISP back in the dialup days. They had a deal with them and we in tech support found out what a pain it was to uninstall.
You first needed to get Norton’s own uninstaller from their website.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I was kinda wondering in the back of my mind when Norton Lifelock would be breached.

Protect your identity . . . oops!
