ARLINGTON, VA--(Marketwire - January 23, 2008) - MyPublicInfo, Inc. (www.MyPublicInfo.com), a
leading provider of identity theft scoring and monitoring solutions, today
announced its partnership with TransUnion's TrueCredit.com, adding the
benefits of online credit monitoring to its own signature identity theft
prevention service, IdentitySweep. IdentitySweep
utilizes an innovative new method of identity scoring by searching
databases and chat rooms for Social Security numbers, credit and debit card
numbers, and other consumer information that has been hacked, stolen or
breached. The new combined package is available directly to consumers for
$19.95 and can be purchased at www.IdentitySweep.com beginning
today.
"While IdentitySweep is
proactively searching multiple external sources for unauthorized use of a
consumer's information, TrueCredit Monitoring is watching over that
consumer's credit report, providing an email alert when a critical change
occurs," said Lucy Duni, Vice President of Consumer Education for
TransUnion's TrueCredit.com. "Bolstered by unlimited access to their own
TransUnion credit report and score and the ability to lock or unlock that
report right online, this offering is truly compelling for those very
concerned about identity theft."
"MyPublicInfo is thrilled to
have the opportunity to work with TransUnion and TrueCredit.com to provide
customers with this added level of credit management and fraud detection,"
said Pat Dane, Chief Revenue Officer, MyPublicInfo. "IdentitySweep is primed to become
a leader in an environment where identity theft is a prominent concern for
the average consumer."
MyPublicInfo's IdentitySweep is the first real-time identity management
service for consumers, available for use at http://www.IdentitySweep.com/.
The service empowers users to proactively protect their personal
information and avert identity crimes through innovative software tools
that "sweep" the Internet for their personal information.
