tl;dr
- You’re not to blame if your identity is stolen, but you can work to help protect it

Your identity is worth protection
It’s not your fault if your identity is stolen. With the way personal information is bought and sold by third parties these days, it’s not possible for an individual to monitor everyone who has access to their data. The right identity protection service can help you spot suspicious activity and understand what steps to take if something goes wrong.
Each LifeLock plan incorporates LifeLock's AI Financial Defense to monitor your connected financial accounts, analyze transaction patterns for signs that could indicate fraud, and if something looks suspicious, it guides you through the next steps. And Card Exposure Control takes you one step further by identifying merchants that may still store your card details and guiding you through takedown requests.
LifeLock digs deep so you don’t have to
There are whole areas of the internet that most people never see. What do you do if your private financial information ends up on the dark web, and how would you even know if it did? As a LifeLock member, you’ll be alerted when your information is found on the dark web thanks to continuous dark web monitoring, which comes with each plan.
Dark web monitoring scans the deep web for 120 types of personal data, such as phone numbers, Social Security numbers, email addresses, credit card information, and more. This monitoring begins the day you start your account and alerts you if your information is found. Never wonder again what’s lurking where you can’t find it.
Experts when you need them
Hackers and scammers change their tactics every day, and sometimes, no matter your efforts, you still get phished, or your card number is stolen. All three plans include identity restoration support if you become a victim of identity theft. LifeLock’s U.S.-based restoration specialists can guide you through the recovery process and help you navigate the necessary next steps. These are human professionals, not automated bots, who work with you to help restore your identity and address the effects of identity theft.
No days off
If you spot suspicious activity, even on a weekend or holiday, you're in luck. LifeLock’s 24/7 virtual advisor is available to help you assess the situation and understand the next steps no matter the time or date. Hackers don’t wait 'til Monday morning, and neither should you.
The dark web might be a scary place, but you don’t have to face it alone. While you live your life, LifeLock is on a permanent expedition to find if your data is hiding. Release the stress of constantly monitoring your accounts, and let LifeLock be your guide.
