I love the idea of having friends and family, as well as trusted followers, secure your identity. Mom and Dad will know if I am hacked, for sure. I disagree with the $1000 cost - only if a person has no relatives. Mom should not pay $1000 to declare me hacked.
SIDE NOTE: Why has someone still not found a way to reverse hack? Meaning, why can GOOD hackers not trace breadcrumb trails to EVIL hackers and we throw their asses in jail? Any human who lives off of the suffering of others deserves to be incarcerated, forever. When will we be able to hack the hackers and start awarding bounties and/or vigalante justice? @dan my friend, don't you think a day will come when hackers who attempt to do evil are found and retribution enacted upon them? I rue the day that these scammers meet their karma.
