IDENTITY GUARD(R) Customers Offered Real Protection for Financial Losses

CHANTILLY, Va., April 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Intersections Inc. (Nasdaq: INTX), a leading global provider of consumer and corporate identity risk management services, today announced it now offers as part of its products a new unique $1 million identity theft insurance coverage(1) that provides true protection for victims of identity theft in its consumer protection products. This coverage will complement Intersections' most comprehensive solution, IDENTITY GUARD(R) Total Protection, and will be made available to the millions of consumers using Intersections' services through private label relationships with financial institutions.

"The current economic climate, coupled with the increasing sophistication of cyber criminals and online threats, provides a 'perfect storm' for identity theft to continue rising," said Michael Stanfield, CEO of Intersections Inc. "Consumers need to be confident that they have real protection if the unthinkable happens and they become victims of identity theft. Customers of our IDENTITY GUARD(R) service already have the best protection available and now they can have additional peace of mind that our million dollar identity theft insurance will take care of them in the unlikely event that identity theft happens."

Specifically, the insurance carrier will reimburse victims of identity theft for the difference between a victim's actual loss and the amount reimbursed to them by their financial institution, up to $1 million. Among the major stipulations, victims must report any loss to Intersections within 90 days, and allow Intersections and the insurance carrier to help them recover such losses.

"Unfortunately, there are a lot of confusing marketing messages in the marketplace that lead consumers to believe they have more protection than they actually do if their identities are stolen or compromised. Many products marketed with 'guarantees' do not reimburse you for lost money associated with identity theft," said Stanfield. "Intersections, with its new $1 million identity theft insurance coverage, offers consumers financial reimbursement for direct losses associated with identity theft."

With IDENTITY GUARD(R) Total Protection, members can manage, monitor, and protect personal information including credit and personal data. The service also provides sophisticated software that protects them against keylogging attacks, secures their passwords and user ids as they navigate online, and protects their computers from advanced malware software. The product also provides identity theft recovery services and financial reimbursement insurance in the unlikely event of an identity theft. Find out more at www.identityguard.com.
