ID Theft Service Crawls the Web on Consumers' Behalf
Wednesday, October 1, 2008
Proactivity always beats passivity, especially when it comes to identity theft. That's why ASC (Affinion Security Center), an ID-theft prevention service that's worked for banks and financial institutions for almost 30 years, has just launched a new consumer service, IdentitySecure, that includes direct monitoring of hacker marketplaces where personal information is bought and sold. ACS also checks credit services and searches public records to discover criminal activity associated with a subscriber's name or address. In addition, ACS monitors IRC (Internet Relay Chat) chat rooms and other hacker forums to identify personal information and credit card data. Find out more at Dark Reading.
