I think that identify theft is over-hyped. Sure, it happens, but it is not the epidemic that the media and these companies claim.

There is a commercial that states an idenity is stolen every 3 seconds. Based on the US population can someone figure out how often my identiy will be stolen in the next 5 years.

How many people on this thread have had their idenity stolen?

Seems like that’s LifeLock’s commercial, IIRC.

That comes out to 31 million identities stolen every year.
