BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS; 30 OCTOBER, 2024 — Leading consumer privacy and security company ExpressVPN today announced the launch of Identity Defender, a suite of identity theft alert and protection solutions for U.S.-based users.
According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the number of identity theft cases reported in the first half of 2024 is on track to exceed the number of cases reported in all of 2023, making it increasingly critical for users to manage their online presence proactively. ExpressVPN’s Identity Defender was developed to empower users to take control of their digital identities more easily and offer straightforward solutions if their information is ever compromised
“Discovering that your personal information has been compromised is stressful enough, but figuring out what to do next can be an even bigger challenge. With Identity Defender, we aim to provide users with a one-stop solution that not only helps them quickly determine if their information is at risk but also guides them through effective steps to address any issues,” said Lauren Hendry Parsons, Digital Privacy Advocate, ExpressVPN.
“Our mission at ExpressVPN is to provide our customers with the highest level of digital protection possible. Integrating identity protection solutions into our existing offerings was a natural progression for us. We hope our customers will take advantage of these new protections, allowing them to safeguard their digital lives more effectively—all from one convenient place,” said Aaron Engel, Chief Information Security Officer, ExpressVPN.
Identity Alerts, Insurance Protection and More ExpressVPN’s Identity Defender comprises three products: ID Alerts, ID Theft Insurance, and Data Removal. Together, they provide a comprehensive solution for users.
ID Alerts are personal information monitoring tools, included in all subscription plans:
- Change of address monitoring: sends users alerts for any changes to their address and the subsequent redirection of their mail- to alert you to any unexpected or unauthorized address change activities.
- Dark web monitoring: monitors references to a user’s personal information on hidden and unsearchable websites.
- Social Security number (SSN) real-time monitoring: helps protect users from potential fraud by looking online for appearances of their SSN and other personally identifiable information (PII)
ID Theft Insurance provides coverage of up to $1 million for identity theft and includes assistance with restoring stolen accounts. It is powered by Assurant. The insurance reimburses users for expenses related to:
- Fraud or embezzlement
- Theft of personal information and financial data
- Forgery of checks or promissory notes
- Data breaches that result in misuse of personal information
- Stolen identity events, including those involving the internet
- It also reimburses expenses that arise from efforts to restore the user’s identity after an identity fraud incident
Data Removal has two major functions: scanning for and subsequent removal of personal information collected by data brokers
It informs users about which data brokers and people-search websites hold information about them. Additionally, it helps users remove/opt out of these websites on their behalf. The service continuously monitors to verify whether the information has indeed been removed and assists in removing or opting out of any newly exposed information.
ExpressVPN’s Identity Defender is seamlessly integrated into the ExpressVPN mobile app interface, allowing for a quick and easy setup process in just minutes – no complicated settings required
