Readers of Identity Theft Labs probably noticed that we recently removed credit monitoring from our LifeLock and LoudSiren comparison and added a new company TrustedID. This was done as we believe that credit monitoring, while still useful in a total protection plan, should not be used as your sole protection from identity theft. We firmly believe that fraud alerts and identity theft insurance are far more important. This is for two reasons that the team has previously informed you about.
Fraud alerts may stop identity theft before it happens as opposed to monitoring which informs you after the crime has been committed. Also we believe identity insurance is a must as there is no such thing as full proof protection. We are committed to only reviewing the best protection plans and Trusted Id meets are qualifications as one of the best identity protection companies.
They were recently endorsed by the Identity Theft Resource Center who is a well respected authority in identity theft education. In fact, Trusted Id is the only identity protection company to have received this honor.
They are well established and have a great product with some interesting benefits that we thought would compete well with LifeLock and LoudSiren Debix. You will have to wait for all the details, but not for long, as we are in the process of completing a full TrustedID review. For now you can compare them on our comparison chart and visit TrustedID.com for further information.
Keep checking back often as we have much more in store for our readers. We are already working on some new articles that will go in depth on how to protect yourself from all kinds of identity theft including medical and employment. We are working hard to make Identity Theft Labs a great resource for identity theft information and information on how we can protect ourselves and our families from this alarming crime wave.
In the meantime, check out our new resource area and keep an eye on some of our existing categories such as the FAQ as we will be adding a lot more information to them in the near future. We thank you for your patronage and hope that you too will continue to inform others of this serious crime.
