Sticky Password Protecting 800,000 Consumers Against Identity Theft During the Convenient Online Holiday Shopping Season
Brno, Czech Republic - December 16, 2011: Sticky Password, a provider of password manager solutions that protect against online identity theft, would like to wish all consumers and businesses a happy holiday season by safeguarding their accounts against online threats.
Sticky Password's technology is currently being used on more than 800,000 computers, as awareness of online threats continues to spread. In the wake of the busiest Cyber Monday shopping day in history, Sticky Password is reiterating the importance of safe password behavior as more shoppers turn to the Internet to purchase gifts for their families and friends this holiday.
Attracted by convenience and the promise of better deals, many have turned to the Internet for their holiday shopping needs. Statistics from market research firm comScore show that online spending on Cyber Monday increased 22 percent in 2011, reaching $1.2 billion on November 28 alone.
However, the increase in online activity has been recognized by cybercriminals looking to exploit online shoppers with phishing, malware and other scams that can facilitate identity theft. In 2010, the Internet Crime Complaint Center saw the second-most complaints since its inception. Not surprisingly, one of the most common among these complaints was identity theft.
“During the Holiday season, there is always an enormous increase in online shopping activity and the “bad guys” know it. With everyone trying to get a great deal online, there is an increased need for secure shopping. Consumers want easy and fast online transactions but they also need to be safe. Sticky Password is thrilled to be able to protect consumers as they surf and shop on the Internet,” said CEO, Petr Bilek.
When shopping for gifts for the holiday season, consumers do not need to navigate the potentially dangerous online waters alone. That's where Sticky Password helps its customers - by giving them the safest password management tools available so they can shop without worrying.
Sticky Password automatically generates unique, unpredictable passwords to prevent cybercriminals from guessing a password and using it to access a consumer's or business' other accounts.
By storing these passwords in encrypted databases on the user’s own computer, Sticky Password ensures that only authorized users can gain access to their accounts.
Sticky Password provides maximum protection and is available in both free and trial versions. In addition, Sticky Password technology is used through several third-party vendors that have recognized the benefits of strengthening password management on their products.

StickyPassword FREE Released Today
March 21, 2011 - Lamantine Software announced the launch of Sticky Password FREE – the free version of its popular password manager and online form filler. The new product includes both the PC-based application as well as the portable version and is free to use for individuals and small businesses. Sticky Password FREE is a comprehensive password management solution for consumers who are looking for another option or who simply want a free product that gives them all the features they need.
“Online security has reached a critical point for the broad community of Internet users“, declared Petr Bilek, Managing Director of Lamantine Software. “Over the past year, surveys conducted by antivirus companies, as well as major password exploits like Twitter, Gawker and Facebook, and even the 4th grader who hacked his school’s Blackboard system reveal that most people still don’t take a serious approach to their passwords. With Sticky Password FREE, we’ve removed any last excuses demanding consumers may have. Users will not have to compromise between the immediate gratification and ease of remembering one password and protecting their identities online – and it’s free.”
Sticky Password FREE is the latest product introduced by Lamantine Software. The team includes Tomas Hofer, co-founder of Grisoft (now AVG Technologies) and leader of the team that introduced the first full free security software more than 10 years ago. “It’s all about consumer awareness of a current security problem. A decade ago, it was anti-virus software and today it’s about passwords. We are releasing Sticky Password FREE to help people solve a problem that they are only beginning to see impacts them. Good passwords have to become an automatic practice – like brushing your teeth. We are confident that Sticky Password FREE is the convenient solution that users have been waiting for.”
Sticky Password FREE enables computer users get over the barrier of bad password habits like reusing the same password on multiple sites or using passwords that are easy to guess. Surveys and analyses of revealed passwords consistently show that users continue to be careless in their approach to passwords and that this is directly related to keeping their identities safe online. That is why the goal of the company is to provide PC users with quality security tools and to educate them about good password practices and their role in their own security. For an extended introductory time, Sticky Password FREE is available only at stickypassword.com and Softpedia.

Sticky Password Increasing Focus on US and Canada Markets with Introduction of Distributor for the Popular Password Manager and Form Filler
Lamantine Software, the developer of the popular password manager and form filler program Sticky Password, today announced the launch of a North American website http://www.stickypasswordamerica.com in conjunction with its North American partner, Datacom Depot. The partnership will bring a high level of support to customers in the US and Canada and offer the product to both customers and channel partners in this expanding market.
(Vocus/PRWEB) January 11, 2011 - Lamantine Software today announced the launch of a North American website http://www.stickypasswordamerica.com in conjunction with its North American partner, Datacom Depot. The partnership will bring a high level of support to customers in the US and Canada and offer the product to both customers and channel partners in this expanding market.
“We're pleased to make such an expansion into this important market and to do so with Datacom Depot (DCD), a company with superb experience building sales channels throughout North America,” said Petr Bilek, Managing Director of Lamantine Software.
In light of recent hacker scares at popular sites such as Gawker.com, the announcement comes at a critical time in the area of password security. Hackers have become more sophisticated in cracking patterns, and because most people use variations of the same password for multiple logins, it has become easier for your password to be breached which jeopardizes all of your other password sites and makes them more vulnerable. Sticky Password provides secure password management and the strongest encryption available to keep users safe online.
Mr Bilek added, “We are especially pleased that this cooperation with Datacom Depot is launching now, as we have just released the brand new 5.0 version of Sticky Password. The newest version offers improved password filling engine and even better protection for personal data, as well as one-click form filling, a password generator and other tools to improve the online experience. Look for exciting new events and features coming up in 2011.”
“I’m thrilled to be partnering with Sticky Password in North America. Our partners rely on us to distribute high value security products and Sticky Password is a great addition!” said Brian McDonnell, Chairman of Datacom Depot. “Having a secure, encrypted password management tool is now as important as having a firewall or an antivirus program. I’m happy to be associated with Sticky Password and look forward to growing a strong channel of resellers across North America. I especially like that Sticky Password allows users to use the most complex passwords, when logging in online, without having to remember them or use the same password over and over again. It’s also a time saver when filling out forms online. It is the best solution to password management that we’ve found!”
The trial version of Sticky Password is free and includes all of the features and functionality for a full 30 days.
About Datacom Depot
Datacom Depot (DCD) is a North American distributor of industry-leading security and data protection products. As a specialized technology distributor, with over 15 years of experience, DCD offers customized support for resellers and provides sales and marketing advantages that mega-distributors cannot provide.

Personal Password Security and the Gawker Hack
Yet another password hacking exploit highlights the question ‘how can I protect myself?’ A Sticky Password executive offers some insights.
(PRWEB) Dec 17, 2010 – The hack of Gawker (operator of technology sites Lifehacker, Jezebel, Gizmodo, Gawker, Kotaku, Deadspin, io9, Jalopnik and Fleshbot) servers exposed over 1.3 million accounts earlier this week and again brought attention to the vulnerability of even reputable websites.
The security breach uncovered the login details of people submitting comments on the several Gawker sites. This data was then used to hack the Twitter accounts of the individuals who use the same login and password for their Gawker site and Twitter.
When asked about the recent hack, Petr Bilek, Managing Director of Lamantine Software - developer of the popular password manager and online form filler Sticky Password, addressed some of the issues that such exploits raise.
Mr Bilek said “because the breach occurred on Gawker company servers, a personal password manager wouldn’t have stopped the hack, but individuals who use Sticky Password put themselves in the best position possible to be protected and to make a quick and safe recovery after a site they use has been attacked.“
Some steps to take if you have an account with one of the Gawker sites:
- Check if your account has been exposed. Duo Security has set up a site to help with this. Whether or not your account has been exposed, yet, make sure you change passwords for any sites associated with Gawker. Make sure you also change your Twitter password.
- Pay attention to exploits. An awareness of the latest hacks and exploits will give you a chance to protect yourself.
- Use a password manager like Sticky Password for strong and unique passwords for all of your logins. Make sure that the tool or program you choose is secure and easy to use, and don’t forget to use a consistent approach for all your sites.
“As shown by the exposed data, we continue to see the same irresponsible passwords that have been revealed in hacks over the past two, three years and more. At the top of the list are always strings like ‘123456’, ‘password’, ‘qwerty’ and ‘abc123’. If a bad guy knows that he has a 10% chance of getting into an account using one of these passwords, then there’s a really good chance that that’s where he’ll start. And it gets worse,” he added, “too many people use the same password on several sites. Just imagine the damage a hacker can do if he discovers that your email login and password are the same that you use for your online banking!”
The trial version of Sticky Password is free and includes all of the features and functionality for a full 30 days. Sticky Password 5.0 is available in English, German, French, Russian and Czech.
