Thakor says she strongly advises people to be serious about protecting their identity. “I’ve realized that the old practice of like shredding your credit card to protect your personal financial information, is almost laughably basic considering the ingenuity of cyber-criminals,” she says.
“These days you have to be more aware of these looming threats. Threats ranging from your sensitive information, personal or otherwise, being exploited on the dark web from unseen malware being installed on your computer without your knowledge. So after much research, I’ve decided to test out LifeLock this year. It offers protection from these modern threats in one convenient package along with the assurance of an insurance policy that will reimburse you in case of the loss of any moneys and restore your identity in the event of theft occurring.”
