Ident-A-Kid Has Selected LifeLock(R) as Identity Theft Protection for over 3 Million Clients

TEMPE, Ariz.--(Business Wire)--LifeLock(R) CEO Todd Davis announced today that Ident-A-Kid
selected LifeLock to provide identity theft protection to millions of
its clients at a discounted rate.

   The majority of news stories on identity theft include adult
victims; however, children are also at risk because parents are less
likely to take steps necessary to limit use of their personal
information, ultimately making them a prime target. Some estimates are
that more than 100,000 children have become victims of identity theft
in the past few years, and that number could be higher since most
cases are not reported.

   Children's information can be obtained if a breach occurs at a
pediatrician's office, the dentist or even at a daycare facility. Once
the identity is stolen, thieves can use it to apply for work, open a
line of credit or sell. These misuses can go undetected for years.

   "While we want to protect everyone from the troubles associated
with Identity Theft, we have made a concentrated effort to educate
parents how important it is to make their children's information
useless immediately," said Davis. "Partnering with an organization
like Ident-A-Kid is the perfect way for us to spread our message of
prevention for children, especially at a time when the number of
victims inside this age group could be growing in size."

   Located in a secure facility in Tempe, Arizona, LifeLock enables
"locks" by setting and automatically renewing fraud alerts with the
major credit bureaus, removing member names from pre-approved credit
card offers and junk mail lists and guaranteeing the service with a $1
million service guarantee. Recently, LifeLock added an additional
service to all clients - free of charge - called WalletLock.
WalletLock works to cancel and replace all documents and personal
identifying information inside a wallet if it is lost or stolen.

   "Ident-A-Kid takes pride in the fact that we as a system have
never databased or retained children's information in producing Child
ID Immediate Response Cards. Partnering with LifeLock is our statement
to the parents of our Ident-A-Kid children that we are so serious
about protecting their children that we now have a product available
for them that will proactively ensure that their child's personal
information is continually safeguarded." said Lonnie Helgerson,
President & COO.
