It's like Home Title Lock IMHO but instead of $19.95 a month it's FREE. We signed up and feel a little better. All explained in this Link that most will be afraid to open.... lol.

That really doesn't fully solve the problem, the problem exists because so many counties and states make this information public. There are some counties and states that do not make it public. That is all they really have to do.
The reality is Home Title Lock is a scam of sorts. you are paying by putting your information in the public eye. Anything and everything CAN be hacked, including this service and home title lock. Once you give your information and someone grabs that database they now have reason to find your documents. It's not all that difficult for a hacker to do. Email addresses able to be traced, as well as anything in the digital domain. It's whether or not it's worth it to them. What better than a community of old people - sorry but old people are the #1 target for anything digital because they are viewed as incapable at being of the technical depth necessary to defend themselves.
