While usual identity theft protection products depend on credit tracking and reporting, Trilegiant stands out from the rest.
For over 30 years, the company, which is a subsidiary of the Connecticut-headed affinity marketing business Affinion Group, has been protecting millions of Americans’ private data and information against identity thieves. Compared to other services, it offers a more proactive method to securing consumers from identity theft. Instead of just evading potential identity hackers, its protection service monitors IRC chatrooms and hacker discussion forums to keep track of any actions of sale or exchange of credit card details.
Primarily functioning with financial and banking institutions, Trilegiant Corporation’s protection expertise enables its service to search through the Internet, especially public records, to look into possible connections between a subscriber’s ID and illegal transactions. With Affinion owning CardCops, a chatroom-tracking service, the service can browse online marketplaces and rooms for potential thievery.
The company also provides various programs to ensure individuals safety from ID theft and fraud. One of them is PrivacyGuard, a credit tracking and information prevention assistance that allows members access to their personal information. ID Secure, on the other hand, also monitors potential fraud but further helps users in resolving problems related to such activities. Moreover, IdentitySecure, the company’s most all-inclusive security package, merges all of its protection capabilities.
