TEMPE, AZ – June 17, 2008 – LifeLock® CEO Todd Davis announced today that Delta Dental of Arizona will offer identity theft protection services to more than 180,000 subscribers. The offer is extended to Delta Dental of Arizona dentists, groups, employees and brokers at a discounted price.
In the latest Federal Trade Commission report, Arizona ranked as the worst state in the U.S. for identity theft. In 2007, the state registered a total of 22,591 identity theft and fraud complaints costing residents more than $3.1 million.
“With over 150 reported company and medical breaches so far this year, Delta Dental of Arizona is clearly doing the right thing in order to protect their client’s personal information,” said Davis. “At a time when nearly 88,000 people a day are affected by losses of personal data, our company is here to provide the peace of mind for organizations like this.”
As the industry leader in identity theft protection, LifeLock requests on behalf of its clients that the national credit bureaus place fraud alerts on its members’ credit files, and requests that members’ names be removed from pre-approved credit card offer and junk mail lists. LifeLock is backed by a $1 million total service guarantee. In addition to the proactive identity theft protection measures provided by LifeLock, members are also entitled to LifeLock’s WalletLock™, eRecon™ and TrueAddress™ services. WalletLock works to cancel and replace all documents and personal identifying information inside a wallet if it is lost or stolen. eRecon is a regular patrol of the Internet in search of social security numbers, credit card numbers, driver’s license numbers and email addresses of LifeLock members to protect against the information being illegally traded or sold online. LifeLock’s TrueAddress service searches to see if members have had a change of address form filed and alert them if there are changes made that they may be unaware of.
“At Delta Dental of Arizona, we are passionate about our subscribers and communities. With Arizona being the number one state in identity theft, we are pleased to offer LifeLock’s proactive service,” said, Bernard Glossy, President & CEO, Delta Dental of Arizona.
