Imagine you found out that your former spouse had opened a fake LifeLock credit monitoring account in your name, and then used it to follow your every financial move for two years? Then imagine that no one at LifeLock will take your query seriously, even after the police get involved.
That's the story of an Arizona woman who learned in March that her ex-husband had been keeping track — literally, their son found a five-page Excel spreadsheet on his computer — of her bank accounts, credit cards and other financial activities.
"He knew everything I did," she tells the Arizona Republic. "I had no idea about all the things he knew."
That spreadsheet didn't just have financial info. It also included his ex-wife's passwords and answers to her security questions. When she reviewed the file — which her son had sent her after finding it on dad's computer — she saw mention of a LifeLock account that her ex was paying for.
The next question is, if people freak out about this, why don't they freak out about the government or companies knowing the same information?

a presumption that I both find tiresome and borderline offensive.
Same AC here.
Only borderline offensive? Clearly I'm not trying hard enough. Perhaps we should talk castration?
The entire rant was based on the idea that it was somehow appropriate for a stalker ex-husband to, well, stalk his ex-wife.
