InboxAlarm was started on the simple idea that people should have peace of mind when it comes to the foundation of online identity: your email. Any profile or acccount you create is ultimately tied back to an email address. As most email is now stored in the cloud, so much important information is only protected by a single password that is usually shared across multiple identities.

The advent and widespread acceptance of social networking has meant that "secret questions" aren't so secret anymore. We read every day about some celebrity's email being hacked because someone found out the name of their favorite pet. Or, we read about companies being hacked because people often use the same password for their personal and business email addresses.

InboxAlarm was started because we realized that your cell phone is more secure than your email. We carry our cell phones with us wherever we go. And if someone has already gained access to your email, sending you an email alert is futile.

With InboxAlarm, you'll be alerted via text message the instant someone opens a tripwired email. Maybe they're looking for clear text passwords, or maybe they're snooping around. You have a right to know if someone has breached your security.

InboxAlarm was started because just as every home should have a burglar alarm, so should every email address.
