FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SignupShield
5 Protects Online Shoppers during the Holidays
Bedford,
NH -- Dec 10, 2007 --
Protecteer LLC, a leading provider of password management & protection
tools, today announced that its new version 5, released today, can help
shoppers make secure online transactions like no other password manager can.
With
phishing and online identity theft schemes becoming a real threat, banking and
shopping websites have made login procedures more complex for their customers.
Whereas traditional password managers made it easier for customers to log into
those sites, they can no longer cope with the new security
measures.
This
is where SignupShield 5 comes in. It is the only password manager on the market
today that can ensure a secure automated login through the more complex login
procedures that these higher security websites demand.
SignupShield
5 can capture login procedures that are spread over 3 separate steps: account
identification, security questions and finally password entry. SignupShield 5
can then automatically login to such websites by replaying all or part of the
captured data.
With
SignupShield 5, shoppers are protected in several ways:
- Phishing
defense:
they cannot be fooled by phishing emails because, SignupShield will not fill
in forms on fake websites. This bypasses the need for phishing filters, which
are never up-to-date.
- Key
logging defense:
they do not have to type in their website password or other sensitive data
like credit card numbers, because SignupShield fills out such data from its
encrypted storage.
- Fraud
alert:
even if users filled in a sensitive form, SignupShield can alert them if their
data is about to be sent to a suspicious website.
“SignupShield
5 is not a dumb record player like most password managers”, said Ami Grynberg,
CEO of Protecteer. “It can reuse captured data in a variety of ways to
accommodate varying input forms.”
SignupShield
Passwords 5 is available for download from www.protecteer.com.
