Identity Guard® Total ProtectionSM Combines Surveillance of Internet Back Alleys and Financial Black Markets to Block Identity Thieves Before They Damage Your Credit.
CHANTILLY, Va., April 10 -- Intersections Inc. (NASDAQ:INTX) today introduced a new level of protection to its Identity Guard® service that includes surveillance of the "back alleys" and financial "black markets" of the Internet to offer consumers unprecedented protection against identity theft.
Identity Guard® total protectionSM combines information from all three national credit reporting agencies with public record reporting, scanning for application and social security fraud, and other features designed to block identity thieves before they can damage your credit.
"Identity theft is a sophisticated crime made all the more opportunistic because of the wireless world in which we live," said Michael Stanfield, CEO of Intersections Inc. "Identity thieves will sift through your public records, credit reports, cell phone calls and Internet transactions, such as purchases and downloads, to steal your information."
Even the most secure Web sites are vulnerable to identity thieves, who steal pieces of information that can be traded on the back alleys and financial black markets of the Internet, to replicate your financial identity. Identity Guard® total protectionSM provides daily monitoring of these Internet back channels, as well as the three credit bureaus, and quickly alerts you to suspicious activity.
The service is ideal for travelers, wireless users, high net worth individuals, public figures, or anyone who cannot afford the time, effort-and frustration-involved in restoring a financial identity.
"Even though people recognize their behavior puts them at risk of identity theft, they don't want to sacrifice the ease, convenience and productivity it affords their lifestyle," said Stanfield. "However, victims and customers have been telling us they wanted preventive services that fit their lifestyle, not just detection and reactive services or services that limit their ability to conduct their financial lives."
The new Identity Guard® website (www.identityguard.com) features additional information about Identity Guard® services and fraud prevention, including real time monitoring of the "Top 10 Crimeware Threats" that identity thieves can use to steal personal information from your computer.
