Editor's Review
🛡️ In today's digital age, identity theft is a serious concern. LifeLock Identity Protection, combined with a Norton 360 or LifeLock plan, offers a robust solution to safeguard your personal information. Imagine receiving an alert because someone is attempting to take out a bank loan in your name! LifeLock's proactive alert system can help you respond immediately and prevent potential damage. 🚀
LifeLock plans provide a range of features designed to protect you from various threats:
- LifeLock Identity Alert™ System: Get alerts when your Social Security Number, name, address, or date of birth are used for credit or service applications. ⚠️
- Dark Web Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of the dark web to notify you if your information is found. 🕵️♂️
- US-Based ID Restoration Specialists: Dedicated agents to help restore your identity if you become a victim of identity theft. 🧑💼
- Million Dollar Protection Package: Coverage for lawyers, experts, stolen funds, and expense reimbursement up to the limits of your plan. 💰
Advantage and Ultimate Plus plans include additional benefits:
- Easy Access to Credit Score(s) & Report(s): Access to daily or monthly credit information for effective credit protection. 📊
- Identity Lock: Lock your TransUnion credit file with a single tap. 🔒
- Transaction Monitoring: Monitors your bank, credit card, and retirement account activity. 💳
LifeLock Identity Advisor includes dark web monitoring, breach notifications, and merchant resolution management. However, it does not include the Million Dollar Protection™ Package or additional alert features offered in higher-tiered plans. Remember, no one can prevent all identity theft or cybercrime, but LifeLock provides a comprehensive layer of protection to minimize your risk. 🌟
Important Considerations: To receive credit reports, scores, and credit monitoring features, your identity must be successfully verified with Equifax, and Equifax must be able to locate your credit file with sufficient credit history. Credit scores are VantageScore 3.0 credit scores based on data from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Locking or unlocking your credit file does not affect your credit score but helps in preventing unauthorized access. 👍
