Noting that businesses lost close to $50 billion in 2003 as a result of covering the costs of identity theft, GeoTrust on Monday made available a free domain-verification service that consumers can use to check the security and trustworthiness of Web sites.
Before providing a credit card number, personal identification information or other confidential data to a Web site, a consumer can use the TrustWatch service to check that the site has been verified by a trusted third party and is using appropriate safeguarding measures.
Typing a Web site address or domain name into a search box on the TrustWatch site will return a confidence rating based on GeoTrust's data about that site.
