TEMPE, Ariz., Feb. 6, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LifeLock, Inc. (www.lifelock.com), an industry leader in proactive identity theft protection has partnered with Relativity Media on behalf of its upcoming highly-anticipated action thriller Act of Valor. An unprecedented blend of real-life heroism and original filmmaking, Act of Valor stars a group of active-duty U.S. Navy SEALs in a film like no other in Hollywood's history. Act of Valor combines stunning combat sequences, up-to-the-minute battlefield technology, and heart-pumping emotion for the ultimate action adventure film—showcasing the skills, training and tenacity of the greatest action heroes of them all: real Navy SEALs. The Navy SEALs are an elite force in national defense. Similarly, LifeLock is an elite force in the identity theft industry, each working to provide protection behind the scenes.
"Navy SEALs are an elite group of individuals, unyielding in their pursuit to protect and we're proud to bring their tremendous sacrifices into the spotlight," said Erick Dickens, Director of Product Marketing at LifeLock and former Army Captain in the Aviation Branch. "The last thing our military service members need to worry about during their deployments is the threat of identity theft, but unfortunately the risk for them is very real."
Members of the military may face the potential for an increased risk of identity theft due to long periods away from home and lack of access to mail and other personal data. Furthermore, Social Security numbers are used in a variety of military identification assets, potentially leaving them vulnerable to misuse. Prior to deployment, it is advised that members of the military appoint power of attorney to assist in the event of a compromise.
