LifeLock Identity by Norton

Editor's Review

Identity theft protection can be complex, but with the LifeLock Identity app and a Norton 360 or LifeLock plan, it becomes significantly easier! 🛡️ Imagine being across town when someone attempts to take out a bank loan using your identity. LifeLock will send you an immediate identity alert. 🚨 If it's not you, you can respond right away, and their dedicated team will start working on your behalf to resolve the issue. This proactive approach ensures that you're always one step ahead of potential threats.

LifeLock plans offer a comprehensive suite of features designed to protect your personal and financial information:

• LifeLock Identity Alert™ System: This system keeps an eye on your Social Security Number, name, address, and date of birth, alerting you if any of this information is used in credit or service applications.
• Dark Web Monitoring: LifeLock continuously patrols the dark web, a haven for cybercriminals, and notifies you if your information is found, allowing you to take immediate action.
• US-Based ID Restoration Specialists: If you fall victim to identity theft, a dedicated agent will manage your case from beginning to end, helping you restore your identity and navigate the complex recovery process.
• Million Dollar Protection Package: This package provides coverage for lawyers and experts up to $1 million if needed, along with reimbursement for stolen funds and expenses, up to the limits of your plan.

Advantage and Ultimate Plus plans include even more robust features:

• Easy Access to Credit Score(s) & Report(s): Essential for credit protection, these plans provide access to unlimited daily or monthly credit information, depending on the plan you choose.
• Identity Lock: With a simple tap, you can lock your TransUnion credit file, preventing unauthorized access. 🔒
• Transaction Monitoring: LifeLock monitors your bank, credit card, and retirement account activity, alerting you to any suspicious transactions.

Norton 360 plans without LifeLock offer dark web monitoring, while LifeLock Identity Advisor includes dark web monitoring, breach notifications, and merchant resolution management, but does not include the Million Dollar Protection™ Package or additional alert features found in higher-tier plans. It's important to remember that no one can prevent all identity theft or cybercrime, but LifeLock provides the tools and support you need to minimize your risk and recover quickly if an incident occurs. 👍
