FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -------------------------- Of interest to editors and journalists covering: Security/Police, Crime Prevention, Computers/Tech, Software COMPUTER THEFT ON THE RISE! THE CYBERANGEL'S RECOVERY RATE KEEPS PACE ATLANTA, GA - September 2, 2003 (Send2Press Newswire) -- CyberAngel Security Solutions, Inc. (CSS, Inc. www.thecyberangel.com) continues to recover stolen computers while protecting critical data for individuals and companies across America at a record pace. "August 2003 has been one the heaviest recovery months yet for the company," says Bradley Lide, company President. Last week, a businessman had his truck stolen, with his computer inside, near Atlanta, GA. Less than a week later, that computer sent a silent transmission to The CyberAngel Security Monitoring Center, providing current location information. Working with law enforcement and DA's office representatives, CSS, Inc. was able to provide information that resulted in the recovery of that stolen computer. The critical client information contained on that laptop was protected and never compromised by virtue of The CyberAngel's data security feature. Last January, an Ontario, CA business was broken into, and amongst the items stolen was a computer protected by The CyberAngel. Last week, The CyberAngel Security Monitoring Center received a covert alert from that computer, identifying the current location as rural Minnesota. CSS, Inc. alerted local law enforcement authorities in both towns and provided them with the location information needed to secure a search warrant for the premises. The next day the computer was recovered and on its way back in the owner s hands the client s data was never compromised. With the recent sharp increase in computer theft, information protection has become increasingly as important as recovery or the IT asset. With other recent recoveries including Miami, Portland, Boston, Baltimore, Houston, and Chicago, and an overall recovery ratio near 90%, The CyberAngel is helping fight these trends.
