http://www.majorgeeks.com/news/story/sym...elock.html   Symantec to Buy LifeLock  Posted by: Timothy Weaver on 11/21/2016 01:45 PM [ Comments ] Symantec has announced that in the first quarter of 2017 it will purchase LifeLock. Symantec is buying LifeLock for $24 per share or $2.3 billion. One third of American citizens have been affected by cybercrime and globally, 650 million have seen some form of cybercrime. There are approximately 80 million U.S. citizens in the market share. “As we all know, consumer cybercrime has reached crisis levels. LifeLock is a leading provider of identity and fraud protection services, with over 4.4 million highly-satisfied members and growing. With the combination of Norton and LifeLock, we will be able to deliver comprehensive cyber defense for consumers,” said Greg Clark, Symantec’s CEO. “This acquisition marks the transformation of the consumer security industry from malware protection to the broader category of Digital Safety for consumers.” “People’s identity and data are prime targets of cybercrime. The security industry must step up and defend through innovation and vigilance,” said Dan Schulman, Symantec’s Chairman of the Board. “With the acquisition of LifeLock, Symantec adds a new dimension to its protection capabilities to address the expanding needs of the consumer marketplace.” Customary closing is expected along with shareholder approval and regulatory approval.
