SKFT News To Combat Cyber Thieves, StrikeForce Technologies' GuardedID(R) Offers Consumer S.H.O.P. Guide To Secure Holiday Online Purchasing

EDISON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--StrikeForce Technologies (OTCBB:SKFT), a company that specializes in the prevention of identity theft, today announced it’s Secure Holiday Online Purchasing (S.H.O.P.) Consumer Guide to Online ID Theft Prevention available as a download or for viewing at www.guardedid.com.

The peak online holiday period starts now and runs through the New Year. “With an estimated 100 million Americans ready to shop online and the busiest season for online shopping and banking just starting, we have assembled a guide built on cyber crime findings from national experts. We’re making this available as a free download or viewable on our Website,” said StrikeForce CEO Mark L. Kay. The document can be seen or downloaded at www.guardedid.com.

During this same period, industry insiders have been quoted as saying credit card companies may turn down their fraud alerts to accommodate their customers’ higher than average spending activity at this time of the year. Cyber thieves know this and are likely to take advantage of the opportunity to make credit card purchases with stolen accounts.

StrikeForce makes GuardedID®, it is a real-time approach to stopping identity theft by encrypting every keystroke the instant keys are typed and rerouting the protected keystrokes directly to a Web browser through GuardedID’s own secure pathway. GuardedID^® bypasses the typical places keyloggers normally reside, thereby helping to eliminate a vulnerability that could compromise personal information and cause great financial loss.

“It is inevitable that nearly every PC will probably be impacted by keylogging software, subjecting the consumer to the nightmare of identity theft and opening up the door to credit cards and online banking accounts being stolen,” said Kay. “In fact, Industry experts conclude that 89% of all the personal computers in the world are likely to have malicious software installed on their PC without their knowledge, the average home computer is infected with at least 30 pieces of spyware.”
