credibility: its about security not character
After being weirded out by a LifeLock advertisement on TV, I did a Google search on the company and found a great article on Wired. It turns out that one of the company’s founders is suspected of identity theft and customers of a former business he ran ended up having their identity stolen. LifeLock is [...]

This campaign is remarkably similar to one waged against John McCain, yet the medium through which the smear is being propagated has changed – this time the smear is originating in spam email.
