Really? Like, really?
Federal regulators are going after identity fraud protection firm LifeLock for allegedly deceiving customers about how secure their data is.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on Tuesday accused LifeLock, which has over 3 million subscribers, of violating a $12 million 2010 settlement with the agency and 35 state attorneys general.
“It is essential that companies live up to their obligations under orders obtained by the FTC,” said Jessica Rich, director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “If a company continues with practices that violate orders and harm consumers, we will act.”
This facepalm has been brought to you by the letters O, P, and M.
