- Qorvis Communications Sarabeth Patch, 202-683-3111 spatch@qorvis.com Intersections Inc. (NASDAQ:INTX), a leading global provider of consumer and corporate identity risk management services, today released a major enhancement to its IDENTITY GUARD(R) Total Protection service. The Company added MOBILE LOCKBOX(SM), a feature that provides secure storage and access to personal records and financial accounts via cell phone or PDA making it convenient to monitor all of your financial records any time.

According to Michael Stanfield, chairman and CEO of Intersections, "Our service is named Total Protection because it monitors not only your credit information but also your other financial records, your computer, and watches for your sensitive information online and in your financial accounts, whether you are at home or on the go. Total Protection also provides software to protect your data and to protect you against keylogging and other intrusive malware. Identity theft is complex, and we have put a comprehensive solution at your fingertips."

IDENTITY GUARD was recently ranked number one among six leading identity theft protection providers, by PC World magazine. IDENTITY GUARD Total Protection, newly released on May 5th 2008, is stronger, more robust and more comprehensive than the previous version reviewed by PC World.

"We're proud of our top ranking, and our new service is even better!" noted Mr. Stanfield, "Our comprehensive and high-quality service has made us the world leader in identity theft protection. Intersections protects over 8 million people and works with eight of the top ten U.S. financial institutions. Identity thieves are getting far more creative, particularly given the growth of on-line transactions and opportunities to steal peoples' identities. Identity theft is no longer just about stealing Social Security numbers or credit card accounts; the thieves are now mining data from multiple sources to create synthetic identities, take over accounts, and create chaos."

MOBILE LOCKBOX uses revolutionary, secure, and easy-to-use software allowing the user to store and access virtually any kind of personal information anytime, anywhere via computer, cell phone or PDA. The product securely stores usernames and passwords, banking information, medical records, insurance documents and wills, even photographs. MOBILE LOCKBOX also offers built-in e-mail and faxing capabilities - along with customized financial transaction alerts - enabling users to monitor their records while they're on the go.

IDENTITY GUARD Total Protection is the most comprehensive service available. It not only helps consumers protect their credit from identity theft, but also provides 360-degree protection on the Internet, on PCs, or when traveling, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Consumers' most personal information - credit, financial, passwords, Social Security numbers and more - are protected from the fastest growing crime in the United States: identity theft.
