I seriously doubt the veracity of this claim but I will suspend judgment if you have evidence supporting it. Incidentally, the commercial you refer to featured the CEO of Lifelock bragging that his identity was secure, but his identity was
hacked 20 times as a result of the publicity. It's not a good example to cite for your case.
