If you really want to know, click here and the Norton On-line Risk Calculator will let you determine how much your identity is worth on the black market.
The calculator will ask you a few questions after which you get three results: how much your online assets are worth, how much your online identity would sell for on the black market, and your risk of becoming a victim of identity theft.
This is both intriguing and scary. The survey asks some pertinent questions but doesn't even consider the platform you're on, the browser you use or a number of factors that can make life more difficult for the bad guys.
Cheers,
Dave

Neat find, Dave.
ReplyDeleteAccording to this, I'm worth a whopping $630.
I'm not sure what to think about this, really. Is Norton trying to scare me into buying their product or is this value truly valid?
