“Nov. 6–RALEIGH — A state-owned laptop computer with personal information about 85,045 North Carolina residents was stolen last month in Atlanta, state officials announced Wednesday.

The information included the full Social Security numbers of 52,391 clients of the state Division of Aging and Adult Services, said Lori Walston, spokeswoman for the state Department of Health and Human Services. It also included personal data of about 32,645 additional clients, including the last four digits of their Social Security numbers.”

Stealing From Kids

My name is Zach and this is my story.,

My identity was stolen when I was 7, but I didn't find out until ten years later when I was denied a student loan and a job due to poor credit. That's when I discovered I was $40,000 in debt because someone purchased a houseboat in my name. It took over 10 years to clear my name. You can be sure my kids will be protected by LifeLock.

True Story

My name is Earl Laurie and this is my story.

I had seen a news report about LifeLock. The CEO gave out his social security number on TV! The reporter tried to use it to open new accounts and couldn't. That's when I signed up. Later, I heard from the Navy and the VA that they had lost my private information. Then someone tried to open two credit card accounts under my name. They tried to steal my identity, but LifeLock worked exactly like they said it would.
