Identity Security Solution Bloom launches Bloom Radar for Free Personal Hack Monitoring

SAN FRANCISCO, April 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bloom, a leader in blockchain solutions in identity security and lending, announces today its dark web data monitoring service, Bloom Radar. The free service monitors and scans data breaches for personal information to alert customers in real-time of compromised data. Unlike many of today's companies, Bloom has a mission of protecting the public's data.

Bloom Radar empowers consumers to take back control of their data and help reduce the risk of identity theft by alerting them in real-time that information has been exposed, allowing them to take action immediately, as opposed to weeks or months later--such as many current services provide. Companies that integrate with BloomID lower their risk of leaking consumer information by putting the power to store and share that data in the hands of the users.

Data breaches and identity theft are rapidly on the rise. In 2018, over 2.6 billion records were exposed and in 2017, there were over 16.7 million victims of identity fraud, leading to $16.8 billion in financial damages. These records are often sold on the dark web, where identity thieves profit from the stolen information.

"As breaches have swiftly expanded in their size, scope, and frequency, people are seeking to protect their data amid the growing prevalence of identity fraud and the damage it wreaks on victims. At Bloom, we're dedicated to: empowering people to take control of their credit and identity, building groundbreaking experiences and workflows for the everyday person, and delivering modern technology that enables increased security, transparency, and financial access," stated Jesse Leimgruber, Co-Founder of Bloom.

With BloomID and Bloom Radar, users can take back their data through a cryptographically-secured Bloom identity, while monitoring the latest data breaches for compromised accounts.
