Protect Your Identity and Safeguard your life!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of LifeLock Twitter for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Identity theft is a real, fairly common and a serious problem that is facing successful people in the developed world today. If one's identity gets stolen it takes long time and thousands of dollars of spending before the mess can be sorted out.

The best way to protect your identity is to ensure that it doesn't get stolen. The most common way people hack and steal your details is via the internet.  Remember there are hackers online all the time looking to steal passwords. Have you ever wondered How hack-friendly is your password? There are many services that promise to protect your identity but I don't think there is none as good as LifeLock.

LifeLock is a the leading provider of identity theft protection service. LifeLock provides clients a multi-pronged strategy to ensure identity theft protection. It is one of the most technologically advanced service provider in this area.

Identity theft has led to individuals and families going bankrupt, losing credit, and getting their personal health information compromised among others. Lot of people dismiss identity theft as something that happens only to rich people, that is false. Households with an annual income of 100K have the highest identity fraud rate of 7.4%. Once identity gets stolen it can cost around $1,513. Identity theft is becoming more and more common - last year (2011) over 11.6 million people were subject to identity frauds and they lost over $18 billion. That is a whopping number both of people and the money.

A huge contributing factor for identity theft is smartphone ownership. Nearly 6.6% of victims own smartphones, 6.8% victims use social media, and 10.1% are linkedin users. Isn't that amazing? Now would you like to be one of them? Of course not! Get LifeLock and you can be assured that no hacker can reach you and steal your identity. It takes only 0.000224 seconds to hack a 6 character password, so it is better to have a bigger and more complicated password.

The sooner you get protected the better off you are. Learn more about LifeLock on Twitter

A website for Geeks and discount lovers!

Majority of my friends are into the information technology (IT) profession. They are what one would call 'geeks' they live and breathe technology, gadgets, software, hardware, and other cool stuff. I have always wanted to be one up on them and give them information about latest gadgets and cool gizmos. For a long time the information I gave them was already old.

Now I have found the Geek Blog which will keep me ahead of my geeky friends. This blog offers the most contemporary information on the latest cool gadgets, gizmos, innovations in technology and other related stuff. How I found this website is itself quite an interesting story.

I was looking for some discount coupons to buy a gift for a friend. I found this website with Toys r us coupons and was immediately taken. As I browsed more I found more discount coupon codes and offers. I was surprised at the amount of information, discount codes and offers that this website has.

I found LL Bean coupon code which was another bonus for visiting this website. Now I am waiting for the opportunity to surprise my geeky friends with all the new information I have gathered here.
