NortonLifelock Users’ Info Stolen – It’s Not Our Fault Says NortonLifeLock<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n See? We Told You So!\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n We’ve written several articles and answers to questions about NortonLifelock and its absurd promises to keep you safe from everything including identity theft.\u00a0 Their million-dollar guarantee aside, no one and nothing can promise to keep you safe 100% of the time. Not only are we ever skeptical of NortonLifelocks’ promises, but NortonLifelocks’ pricing policy gives no indication of how much higher the already high first-year subscription price will go up in the second year or subsequent years.<\/span><\/p>\n Here’s an example. To get the “$1,000.000 NortonLifelock guarantee”, you will need to spend $19.99 a month\/$ 239.88 a year (if you pay a lump sum annually), and $23.99 if you pay monthly ($287.88) for the first year. The page does not indicate what the second year will cost.\u00a0 Now if you watch the TV ad, they don’t mention that only the highest-prices plans include the “million-dollar” guarantee. It’s probably somewhere in the tiny print at the bottom of the screen they know you’re never going to read.<\/span><\/p>\n But wait there’s more… the TV ad<\/a> makes it sound like you will get a VPN service with all their plans, but that’s not true either. You will have to pay extra to get the VPN service. So, if you want the “million-dollar” guarantee and<\/strong> the VPN service, you’ll pay $24.99 per month (299.88) the FIRST year if you pay annually or $29.99\u00a0 per month (359.88) the FIRST year if you pay monthly.<\/span><\/p>\n Despite their far-fetched claims and guarantees, their reputation (which for some reason remains favorable), NortonLifelock users’ passwords, and usernames were stolen.<\/span><\/p>\n And not only were they stolen but…<\/span><\/p>\n “In accessing your account with your username, and password, the unauthorized third party may have viewed your first name, last name, phone number, and mailing address \u2014 NortonLifeLock<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Well, NortonLifeLock says, hey it’s not our fault all these password\/username combinations were stolen! No way! It was “some” third party’s fault. <\/span><\/p>\n Wink.Wink.<\/span><\/p>\n Gen Digital, formerly Symantec Corporation and NortonLifeLock, is sending data breach notifications to customers, informing them that hackers have successfully breached Norton Password Manager accounts in credential-stuffing attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n According to a letter sample shared with the Office of the Vermont Attorney General, the attacks did not result from a breach on the company but from account compromise on other platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n ‘Our own systems were not compromised. However, we strongly believe that an unauthorized third party knows and has utilized your username and password for your account,’ NortonLifeLock said… (Source<\/a>)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n This is the new way of doing business I guess. If something goes well you hold a press conference and take all the credit. If something goes wrong you bring in the spin doctors and blame someone else.<\/span><\/p>\n Regardless of NortonLifelocks’ posturing and maneuvering, there’s no way we’re buying NortonLifelocks’ claim of innocence, what about you?<\/span><\/p>\n Here’s more from Bleeping Computer.<\/a><\/span> We hope you’ll take the time to read it and draw your own conclusions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NortonLifelock Users’ Info Stolen – It’s Not Our Fault Says NortonLifeLock See?
