One thing I didn't mention in my original stories: Identity theft insurance. I got tons of emails and tweets asking me about it and whether I'd left it out intentionally. Honestly, I had never used LifeLock or anything like that, and I wasn't really sure what they did. So I decided to look into it.

I published a story today about whether ID theft protection is worth it. The tl;dr version: For me, yes. For you? Maybe.
