Identity theft is America's fastest growing crime. Every year, approximately 9.9 million Americans become victims of identity theft, over 50% of which are Internet related. The iBoss™ Home protects you against identity theft and online fraud by stopping Phishing attempts.

Phishers send E-mail and pop-up messages that claim to be from a business or organization that you may deal with - for example, an Internet service provider (ISP), bank, online payment service, or even a government agency. The message may ask you to "update," "validate," or "confirm" your account information. Some phishing E-mails threaten a dire consequence if you don't respond. The messages direct you to a website that looks just like a legitimate organization's site. But it isn't. It's a bogus site whose sole purpose is to trick you into divulging your personal information so the operators can steal your identity and run up bills or commit crimes in your name.

The iBoss™ Home protects you from Phishing attempts by blocking access to fraudulent websites used by Phishers.
