IdentitySweep is an alert service provided by
MyPublicInfo that conducts
extensive sweeps through billions of records, searching for a
subscriber’s name and Social Security number and tracking suspicious
modifications. IdentitySweep will monitor your records 24 hours a day, 7
days a week and notify you when your name or Social Security number is
manipulated.
This service differs from those offered by the credit monitoring
agencies because it alerts you when your name or Social Security number
are manipulated—which may happen before a new account has been opened.
IdentitySweep combs through millions of public records, looking for
“mismatches” of names, addresses and Social Security numbers. For
example, if a thief has your Social Security number and attempts to open
an account with a different name and address, that mismatch can raise a
red flag for IdentitySweep. We will alert you before
fraudulent activity may have begun.
MyPublicInfo is offering two options to University of Texas at Austin
data theft victims.
Plan 1 – Social Security Monitoring includes Social
Security monitoring, which keeps a vigilant eye on the millions of
public records that include combinations of your name, address and SSN.
When a mismatch occurs, our system will let you know that someone may be
fraudulently manipulating your personal information. This option is
offered only as part of our arrangement with The University of Texas at
Austin.
One year: $14.00
Two years: $25.00
Plan 2 – Full Protection Identity Sweep includes Social Security monitoring, plus:
