LifeLock offers to protect you from the Equifax breach — by selling you services provided by Equifax
LifeLock is raking in bucks by selling services to protect consumers from the Equifax hack–but it contracts for some of those services from Equifax.
The ID theft protection firm LifeLock is certainly one of the big winners from the big data breach suffered by Equifax, which exposed the personal information of 143 million Americans to hackers.
LifeLock has been going to town on the Equifax breach, with ads and press releases trumpeting how the breach proves how valuable its own services (cost: up to $29.99 a month) can be to protect you from identity theft.
