Partnership Will Raise Awareness and Educate
Domestic Violence Survivors About the Risk of Identity Theft
LifeLock, Inc. (NYSE: LOCK), an industry leader in proactive
identity theft protection, and Sojourner Center, one of the
nation's largest domestic violence shelters, today announced a
partnership that will focus on educating victims of domestic
violence about the associated risks of identity theft.
LifeLock will work with Sojourner Center to raise awareness of
the potential risks that victims of domestic violence may face and
offer tools to educate them on how to better help protect
themselves.
The partnership is part of LifeLock’s ongoing consumer education
efforts, which include partnering with community groups to help
protect potential victims of identity theft by providing them with
information and protection tools.
“Victims of domestic violence come to Sojourner Center not just
to escape violence but to transform their lives,” said Dr. Maria
Garay, Chief Executive Officer of Sojourner Center. “Unfortunately,
one of the threats victims of domestic violence face is identity
theft. It is a heartbreaking setback when it happens. We are
extremely grateful to partner with LifeLock to help educate victims
of domestic violence about some of the steps they can take to help
stay one step ahead of anyone who may be trying to fraudulently use
their identity.”
“Victims of domestic violence may face a higher risk of identity
theft since their partner likely has access to their personal
information,” said Hilary Schneider, president of LifeLock.
“LifeLock has a long-standing commitment to fighting identity theft
and is looking forward to working together with the Sojourner
Center to educate domestic violence survivors about how they can
help better protect themselves against the risk of becoming an
identity theft victim.”
As part of the commitment to help fight identity theft, LifeLock
trains law enforcement, victim advocates and collaborates with a
variety of non-profit organizations to help consumers establish
positive habits to combat identity threats. LifeLock partnered with
FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development Association (FBI-LEEDA)
to provide free training to law enforcement throughout the United
States and has reached more than 11,000 law enforcement officials
representing more than 4,000 agencies. LifeLock also partnered with
the National Organization for Victim Assistance (NOVA) to provide
training to victim advocates throughout the United States. In 2014,
LifeLock collaborated with National PTA to develop a curriculum
that teaches good digital citizenship and online safety habits for
children.
