Internet Monitoring provides you with a proactive tool to detect when your personally identifying information (PII), as well as your unique data or credentials, such as your credit card numbers or bank accounts, are being traded by identity thieves on black market web sites, chat rooms and bulletin boards as well as social networking internet sites. Information on these sites is monitored daily and when a breach of your PII is detected, an email alert will be sent to you instructing you to log into your Identity Care Account to view the details of the alert. These alert details will provide you with information to help you determine the severity of the breach and if you need to contact a Recovery Advocate for immediate action. Black market sites are not part of the normal internet experience for most consumers. These sites exist out of view of all but a very small group of people who track these types of criminals, or the criminals themselves. Internet monitoring provides a means to continually comb the internet for these black market chat rooms, hacker forums, websites and bulletin boards where criminals buy and sell sensitive consumer and business information that they can use for identity theft.
