When starting Total Digital Security in 2013, our vision was to create a platform of best-in-class privacy and cybersecurity solutions for people and personal technology.
We started with "The Four Fundamentals," which included:
- Privatize your personal email account.
- Protect your computers and phones with enterprise-grade antivirus and end-point protection.
- Secure your home internet network.
- Use a VPN every day.
The Four Fundamentals approach creates an eco-system of privacy and security that works everywhere, all the time, and across all devices and networks. It's remarkable how well the system we introduced in 2013 reduces the risk of online fraud and losses from cybercrime.
Today, in 2022, cyber risk permeates all aspects of life, and our platform of best-in-class providers is growing. Last month we introduced Red Five Security as our strategic partner for addressing the merging of physical and digital risk with holistic solutions for families and VIPs.
✓ With this month's letter, I'm pleased to present our latest partner, Carrie Kerskie, a leading expert in identity theft prevention and recovery.
First, some facts driving the need for identity management and protection:
At TDS, we see it all, and the experiences of ID theft victims include some of the most damaging cases we encounter. The consequences can be horrible, and the trial and tribulations for the victim are long-lasting.
✓ Fortunately, there are effective ID theft recovery and prevention strategies, so we're partnering with the premier provider for our clients' needs.

For the types of identity theft that cannot be prevented, if an incident should occur, Carrie and her team will work to restore your identity.
VIP Identity Fraud Risk Management membership plan is not a call center. You work directly, one-on-one, with Carrie Kerskie and her team.

FBI - Phishing Up 6,000% in two years
Finally, as we warned in the November 2021 CyberAdvisor, phishing is evolving and getting more sophisticated every day.
"The FTC received more than 375,000 reports of text message fraud in 2021 - with losses for link-clickers totaling $131 million."
In some cases, text, email, and voice are combined (called "vishing") to add credibility to the phishing exploits, so be on your toes and read the news tiles below for more information on what is happening and how to protect.
