LifeLock
is
a
large
credit
monitoring
and
iden4ty
the7
protec4on
company
which
was
founded
in
2005
and
is
currently
based
in
Tempe,
Arizona.
LifeLock
was
originally
founded
by
Todd
Davis
and
Robert
Maynard,
Jr.
In
2007,
Mr.
Maynard
resigned
due
to
some
controversy
and
scandal
about
his
past
and
the
integrity
of
the
story
of
his
vision
which
sparked
the
founding
of
LifeLock.
During
that
same
year,
Mr.
Davis
was
part
of
one
of
the
most
memorable
adver4sing
campaigns
of
recent
memory
when
he
publicly
gave
his
social
security
number
as
a
promo4on
to
the
company’s
successful
rate
of
finding
and
stopping
iden4ty
the7.
As
a
result
of
this
adver4sing
campaign,
Mr.
Davis
was
the
vic4m
of
iden4ty
the7
in
13
cases.
3.
2008
was
another
monumental
year
for
LifeLock
when
the
company
entered
into
an
agreement
with
TransUnion
2008
in
order
to
create
and
expand
LifeLock’s
exis4ng
credit
monitoring
system
into
a
more
robust
and
dynamic
.
The
partnership
between
LifeLock
and
TransUnion
also
gives
LifeLock
a
more
automated
system
to
alert
their
customers
of
any
suspicious
ac4vity
on
their
individual
credit
report.

With
the
acquisi4on
of
ID
Analy4cs
Inc.
and
the
partnership
with
First
Victoria
bank
in
Texas,
(the
oldest
independent
bank
in
Texas),
LifeLock
was
poised
to
bring
their
customers
beWer
service
than
ever.
The
predic4ve
analy4cs
provided
by
ID
Analy4cs
is
key
to
quickly
iden4fy
behaviors
which
appear
fraudulent
and
prevent
iden4ty
fraud.
Late
in
2012,
LifeLock
went
public
with
an
IPO
of
up
to
$175
million.
LifeLock
is
listed
on
the

How
soon
and
how
o*en
can
members
see
their
credit
reports
and
scores?
Subscribers
to
the
LifeLock
Advantage™
or
LifeLock
Ul9mate
Plus™
services
may
access
their
online
credit
report(s)
and
see
their
TransRisk
score
within
minutes
of
enrolling.
They
may
access
this
informa9on
whenever
they
like
without
having
any
nega9ve
impact
to
their
credit
report
or
score.
12.
What
is
the
TransRisk
Score
and
how
is
it
similar/dissimilar
to
the
FICO
score?
Different
lenders
use
different
credit
scoring
models
to
determine
credit
worthiness.
One
of
the
most
commonly
used
(and
most
familiar)
is
the
FICO
score.
Most
credit
monitoring
companies
do
not
provide
the
FICO
score
and
use
a
proprietary
score
which
is
for
educa9onal
purposes
only.
The
TransRisk
Score
is
TransUnion’s
scoring
system
and
is
not
intended
to
guarantee
credit
worthiness.
13.
Does
joining
LifeLock
affect
my
credit
raFng?
Joining
a
credit
monitoring
program,
such
as
those
offered
by
LifeLock,
does
not
affect
one’s
credit
ra9ng
either
posi9vely
or
nega9vely
in
that
they
are
not
extending
credit
or
performing
hard
inquiries
on
an
individual’s
credit
report.
Regular
monitoring
and
using
tools
provided
by
the
programs
may
improve
a
credit
score
in
that
errors
may
be
removed,
among
other
possibili9es.

There
are
reports
that
the
aler4ng
offered
by
LifeLock
has
missed
some
of

fraudulent
ac4vity

as
sub-‐standard
customer
service.
This
informa4on
is
anecdotal
and
not
backed
with
hard
data,
so
corrobora4on
is
not
possible.
