IDTELi announces GuardedID® ID Theft Prevention program for Credit Unions & Credit Union Members

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan 15, 2009 -
Beaverton, Oregon --- Credit union members who bank on-line are still at risk of having their identities stolen even though most credit unions provide secure connections for their members.

By some estimates as many as 80% of all computers are infected by keyloggers that are not detected by any anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewalls or filters.  Keyloggers record the keystrokes and, when it sees account numbers, logins and passwords, it transmits them to identity thieves.  “First it was viruses, then spy-ware, and now key logging is becoming the most dangerous threat because up to 80% of the key loggers are missed by anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewalls, filters etc.,” said Brenda J. Eaden, CEO of IDTELi.

None of the antivirus companies or providers offers this technology or has any type of identity theft protection at the keyboard level.  The GuardedID4CreditUnions© program utilizes patent pending technology, and has the first product able to mitigate keyboard level risk.  When banking on-line, consumers’ private information is usually protected between the Internet browser (such as IE or Firefox) and the credit union’s website (using SSL encryption) but, it is not protected at the keyboard where much of the identity theft occurs.  GuardedID4CreditUnions© encrypts the keystrokes with “next generation security” as they are typed and makes them invisible to keyloggers.
