SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 3, 2005--Bluecase Software, a leader in the fight against ID-theft, today launched www.id-cpr.com, a comprehensive, first stop for at-risk consumers and victims of ID-theft looking for answers to one of today's fastest growing crimes. The web site is the first to address ID-theft with a simple and comprehensive solution based on ID-CPR's five keys to ID-theft protection and recovery: Information, Defense, Credit monitoring, Privacy protection, and Recovery.

Information - Understanding ID-theft is a critical first step. Knowing the warning signs and best methods of protection will help minimize the threat. ID-CPR provides comprehensive articles, links and tools to make you fully informed.

Defense - Once consumers understand their level of risk, the next step is to implement strong defenses. Protecting one's confidential information, both online and offline is essential. ID-CPR.com gives consumers access to powerful defensive tools, such as anti-spyware, anti-phishing guards and ID-Theft protection tools for comprehensive online and offline security.

Credit monitoring - Diligent awareness of personal credit reports is one of the best ways to spot ID-theft. Acting quickly can help limit the damage from an ID-theft incident. ID-CPR.com can help consumers get on track with credit monitoring from credit bureaus such as Experian.

Privacy protection - In today's world of electronic data and easy credit, it's almost impossible to totally avoid the public release of personal information; still, there are ways to maintain privacy with the right tools and the right knowledge. ID-CPR.com informs and points consumers in the right direction to maintain their privacy.

Recovery - ID-CPR.com can help cut the often overwhelming amount of time and energy required to recover from ID-theft. In many cases, following the clear ID-CPR process can cut recovery time over 90%, saving both money and peace of mind.

"We all know that ID-theft is a growing problem. But not many of us are prepared for what to do once our identity is at risk or has been stolen," said Charlie Moore, CEO of Acendi Systems Company, the developer of ID-CPR.com. "Based on the principals defined in our ID-Theft Protector software suite, ID-CPR.com is designed to help guide at-risk individuals and victims through the preparation and recovery process. If consumers follow our simple steps, either on their own through our web site, ID-CPR.com, or with our ID-Theft Protector software suite, it can mean the difference between total catastrophe and mere inconvenience when their identity is compromised."

"While the growing number of data thefts, phishing attacks and other forms of ID-theft have created significant security and trust implications of businesses that maintain sensitive customer information, consumer victims are often left to fend for themselves," said Dave Jevans, Chairman of the Anti-Phishing Working Group. "We applaud efforts that help consumers and identity theft victims navigate the process of recovery."
