When i got back to the department. Do you know how it happened . How do they get your identity to begin with . Your informations out there, and its public. And so you have to protect yourself, because its gonna cost you money. Its gonna cost you time. Its gonna cost you stress. Its gonna cost you energy, and ive seen it from all walks, from the young to little kids to the elderly who has a house thats already paid for, and then, one day, what . I have a mortgage . So, and it devastates them. It wipes out their retirement. Well, you know what . To help us all understand how this all could have been stopped, please welcome the founder and c. E. O. Of lifelock, mr. Todd davis. Welcome him. [ cheers and applause ] todd, these are crazy stories that we hear. Well, the key is, if it had happened now, we would have had the chance to try to stop these crimes before they happened. And i talked a little bit earlier about fraud Identity Theft. A lot of people think if somebody, you know, swipes your credit card while youre standing at suchandsuch a store, look over you shoulder, and they charge four or five things and walk away thats one crime. Yeah. That may be the extent of the crime. But then, when they take it the next step further. The keys to the kingdom for a criminal is get that personally identifiable information not just a credit card that can be turned off in minutes if you notify, but lets get name, birth date, Social Security number. And once they have that, unfortunately for hannas sake, once its out there, you see what happens. Not only cant you get a mortgage sit there, clean it up, worked for years to make this better, and then the rest of your life, youve got to still look over your shoulder, cause when are they gonna hit me again . In each one of these cases heres l. A. P. D. Former l. A. P. D. Each case, had they had lifelock to begin with, though, the first time he had any blip, you would have notified him. Well, thats the key. We would have looked at it for banking, checking, savings accounts. Account takeover fraud lifelock would have sent an alert. Is this you . Stephanies case you know what . Youve got that alert, and you may have chosen to get it via text message and just, stephanie, are you trying to get this new credit card . You say no, send it back with one button push, and were going to interact with that enterprise and say, stop this transaction, before that card ever gets mailed. We see across multiple enterprises. When those criminals adjust their vectors of attack, guess what we do. We adjust where our defenses are. We adjust what we see. I got to back you on that 100 . Ive been involved with lifelock since its early days. Very much. I got to take a little break, sir. Were gonna take a little break. Guys, give it up for mr. Todd davis. Also.

Well, you have to look at the shifting nature of crime. Okay. This is the Fastest Growing form of its insidious, because people can steal your identity and you dont even know about it. What made you aware of this to focus on it . Well, ive been in the securityconsulting business now for 10, 11 years since i left being mayor. So ive heard hundreds of complaints like this from individuals, from businesses. The whole area of cybertheft has just been growing and growing since since ive been in this business. And now its become almost an i call it an epidemic, because all this information is in cyberspace. All this information we used to lock in safes all that stuff is sitting up in the air. I mean, its in a cloud. Right. Its right up there for anybody to go grab, take. Now, whats even crazier about this, and tell me if im wrong. I think, okay, if somebody messes with my debt, ill just call the bank. Hey, cancel all my credit cards. We good . Thank you. And its over. No. No, its not over. I mean, if somebody can get your Social Security number, they can do all kinds of damage. If somebody can get into your bank account, they can start moving money around.

And theyre gonna participate in an Identity Theft demonstration. Right, montel. We have four lifelock members, we have four random members from the audience. I was able to find out a ton of information. Before i can go any further, i have to get their explicit authorization, or id be breaking the law.

Before the break, eight audience volunteers allowed former hacker Kevin Mitnick to attempt to steal their identities using just their name and address information all of us give out without a second thought. Just so people get this clearly, if you have a computer and access, it doesnt cost you anything, right . Whats the cost for you to be able to steal somebodys identity . Actually, 50 cents. You dont have to be a superhacker. Anyone that has access to the internet and can subscribe to certain databases that private investigators do and information brokers do could obtain anyones information for between 25 and 50 cents. So, the value of your whole life and all your information 50 cents. All right, so, lets show you. We did an experiment, and this has been great. All eight of you, stand up again. Four of you are lifelock members. Four of you are nonlifelock members. I was able to get their Social Security number, their date of birth, their phone number, and all the addresses that they lived at for probably the last 10 years. You, then, during our break, were able to do what . I was able to open up credit accounts at some of the major banks. Guys, he was just able to fill out applications for credit cards in your names. All right, so, now, the four of you that are nonlifelock members, take a look at your phone. Tell me if you have an alert there. You got an alert there . Somebody let you know that somebodys messing with you . [ chuckling ] no . Lifelock members, take a look at your phone. Anybody got an alert there . [ cellphones chime ] yeah . One. One, two. Three. Four. All four . All four. [ cheers and applause ] and you see, thats the power of lifelock. It steps in and can stop it. Honestly, its being proactive, understanding that, with a minimal amount of information, people have access to your entire life, correct . Pretty much the identity system in americas broken. It takes anyone with access to the internet and a credit card to get enough information to become you. Its just so easy, and theres nothing out there that can protect you like lifelock. Give it up for Kevin Mitnick. [ cheers and applause ] thank you, sir. Thank you. Want a good guy, protecting us all. Now, i want you to take a look at this tape because here are a couple of lifelock members who are gonna prove to you that lifelock can step in to help us all stop Identity Theft in its tracks. I was applying for a new home loan. My neighbor next door came into my apartment, and within minutes, he just photocopied everything with his camera. They stole it all. They stole my my life. Last thanksgiving, i came home, found my house burglarized. They had taken a safe, which contained all of my wifes and is personal documents, my familys personal documents. What they took wasnt just the physical items, but they took my identity, and it became very personal. At first, i panicked because i didnt know what to do. Now that hed stolen my identity, with all the inquiries on my credit, im not gonna qualify, and i was not gonna get my new home. Lifelock protected my credit, and in the process, i did get my new home. The support i got from lifelock was amazing. They were there for me. They were working side by side with me. The creditCard Companies and my banks were not. Lifelock did shut the identity thieves down. I chose lifelock because they seemed to have the best reputation. What was interesting is they proved themselves right by doing everything they said they would do and then some. If i didnt have lifelock, i would have never gotten my new home. Without lifelock on my side, i i dont know where id be. Well, please welcome kent, julie, and francine to the show. Welcome them. [ applause ] i dont know. You know, again, i cant imagine walking into my house and realizing someone had invaded my privacy this way. I was so angry. I wanted to just pick up a pipe and beat somebody. [ chuckles ] i can imagine. Because, i mean, you were also trying to think about the holidays for your family. And when did you realize that, y
