"Technology has made life easier for all of us. For taxpayers, it has sped up the income tax filing process and delivered refunds faster than ever before," said James J. Wheaton, Chief Compliance Officer for Liberty Tax. "But technology has also made it easier for criminals to access personal information and commit identity theft. We know how damaging identity theft can be. That's why Liberty is working with the IRS Security Summit and why our three companies together are launching #ProtectYourID. Our campaign will push the conversation into living rooms and home offices to get people thinking about information security and employing simple techniques that will help them better protect themselves."

"More and more, individuals and organizations are just as likely to do business with a company on the other side of the world as one on the other side of town," said Tom Pageler, Chief Risk Officer at DocuSign. "Transactions conducted quickly, easily and 100% digitally online have become the new normal -- including when we file our income tax returns. With our digital identities and online transactions having a vast global reach, so too is the global reach of would-be cyber criminals. Individuals and businesses must be as vigilant as ever in protecting themselves. #ProtectYourID will help ensure trust and confidence in digital transactions by promoting best practices for securing data, information and identities online."

"Continuing to raise awareness of the epidemic of ID Theft and providing tools and resources are critical in helping individuals and businesses protect themselves to fight against ID theft. #ProtectYourID will help encourage more people to think about information security and employ tools and techniques to better protect themselves," said Jeff Bell, CEO LegalShield. "Our goal is to ensure that consumers and businesses feel secure knowing that they've done everything they should to keep their personal information personal, and they have committed and trustworthy companies supporting them."
