As a definitive source for all things regarding identity fraud and identity management, we operate much like a legitimate news organization.

We have an editorial team that determines what is relevant to our readers.  We also look to our members, thought-leaders and our readers to help us provide ongoing content for this blog.   The lead voice is Anne Wallace, President of ITAC, the Identity Theft Assistance Center.

Five years ago, she brought the CEOs of 50 financial services companies together to test something that had never been done, namely, a jointly-owned service – paid for by the industry – to help consumers recover from identity theft.  ITAC’s victim assistance service – which has helped more than 50,000 consumers recover from identity theft – is available at no cost to the millions of consumers who have an account at an ITAC member company.

In addition to providing a unique service for consumers, ITAC links many of the country’s largest financial services via an online case management system.  ITAC also feeds information about cases of identity theft to the Federal Trade Association and hundreds of law enforcement agencies to support the investigation and prosecution of identity crimes.

ITAC also helps consumers protect themselves from identity fraud with ITAC Sentinel®, a state of the art identity management service that protects consumers on the front end and guides consumers through recovery with ITAC victim assistance.  Profits from the sale of ITAC Sentinel services support ITAC’s nonprofit fight against identity crime.
