Login is quick and easy, especially if you add secure.lifelock.com to your favorites. Once your login is secured, you’ll be able to access the latest LifeLock news, subscribe to useful LifeLock communications, obtain online support, and much more.

Identity Theft 101:
The Latest Web Techniques
Consumer Reports found one in every five online consumers was a victim of cybercrime during the previous two years.1 For many criminals, getting access to a wealth of personal information is as easy as sending out a simple request—the surprising thing is that these types of thieves get results from personal computers like yours. Computer viruses, worms, Trojan horses, adware, and spyware can tag along with inconspicuous files from people you know and sites you visit. Once you download these inconspicuous files, the viruses go to work and infiltrate your computer—without your permission or knowledge—disrupting or disabling your system, tracking your activity and even your keystrokes, or providing access to your private and personal information.
With this type of success, it is no wonder that more and more cybercriminals are hacking in to your computers to steal passwords, financial data, Social Security numbers, and credit card numbers. But don’t worry. Putting these proven techniques to work can help protect your identity:
- Never open attachments from unknown email addresses. Email attachments can automatically download viruses to your hard drive.
- Turn your email's spam filter on. A spam filter can significantly reduce the amount of junk email you receive. (NOTE: Take the time to set up your filter correctly so that you don’t accidentally filter out important emails. If necessary, add trusted senders’ email addresses to your “Not Spam” list.)
- Keep your operating system up-to-date. Help prevent criminals from exploiting known bugs to get your private information. If you are running Windows, visit www.update.microsoft.com to obtain the latest fixes.
For the utmost level of protection, LifeLock Command Center plus LifeLock Credit Score Manager work together to give you peace of mind knowing that we’re working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to help protect your personal information both online and off.
