I subscribe to one of the 10 million credit monitoring sites. And I make sure to shred anything with even remotely personal information on it, including all credit card offers. Probably not enough but I figure anything that makes me less of a target makes it less worth it.

SSgt Alex Robinson - I subscribe to LifeLock and a couple of other services provided by my company. I recommend everyone take the threat seriously and take precautions.
