The shady past of LifeLock, Rush Limbaugh's sole remaining tech advertiser

LifeLock, the sole remaining tech advertiser on Rush Limbaugh's radio show, has a very shady past, including being fined $12 million by the Federal Trade Commission for deceptive business practices.

Three tech companies -- AOL, Carbonite, and GoToMeeting -- pulled their advertising from Rush Limbaugh's right-wing radio show after Limbaugh called a female law student a "slut" and "prostitute". But the identity theft company LifeLock steadfastly remains an advertiser.

LifeLock and Limbaugh make a very suitable couple, because LifeLock has a very shady past, particularly disturbing for a company that promises to protect your identity for a fee.

In 2010 LifeLock was fined $12 million by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for deceptive business practices. LifeLock promises to protect people against identity theft, and claimed that it would give customers $1 million for their losses if they became victims of identity theft after using the service.
