Cybercriminals are constantly coming up with new ways to intercept sensitive data. This data may include details of your identity, credit card number, or banking information. It is easy to disregard this risk, but when risk becomes a reality, it can be disastrous. In fact, data breaches targeting identity theft cost U.K. citizens £4 billion annually. Learn more about how ID Screen can provide superior financial protection services.
1. Continuously Monitor Your Identity With ID Screen
You do not have the time or resources to monitor your identity and ensure it is not being manipulated.
Luckily, ID Screen does. Identity monitoring services allow you to enjoy peace of mind as your personal data is protected by a robust algorithm.
This algorithm continuously collects and monitors data associated with your identity, including the following:
- Publication of your name, address, or phone number
- New financial accounts opened in your name
- Credit applications submitted in your name
- Appearance of your personal data in public records
If any of these items raise a red flag, ID Screen’s identity monitoring system will automatically trigger a notification and, if necessary, an investigation. This ensures that your personal data is safe from exploitation.
2. Enjoy Financial Protection When You Shop Online
You might wonder how exactly personal data becomes vulnerable to exploitation. This can happen in a few ways, but online shopping is one of the most common culprits. This is especially true when it comes to intercepting credit card information. Unfortunately, if you are shopping on a website that is not completely secure, cybercriminals can very easily see the information that you submit.
This is likely to happen if you fall prey to a fraudulent website that imitates a legitimate website. Cybercriminals will set up these sites with the intent of spoofing a real website, collecting credit card information, and using the data nefariously. In some cases, criminals can even steal your information from a legitimate website.
This can happen if a site is not properly secured with SSL encryption or if you are using a public internet connection that allows your activity to be visible. In either case, ID Screen offers protection by monitoring up to 10 credit and debit cards. This monitoring will promptly alert you to any unusual activity on your cards.
3. See Real-Time Alerts From the ID Screen System
When it comes to identity theft and financial fraud, time is of the essence. The longer a criminal has access to your accounts, the more damage they can do. This is why it is essential to set up live alerts for your accounts and ensure that you are always aware of any unauthorized activity. ID Screen makes it easy to do this by enabling real-time notifications for your account.
These notifications can alert you to activities such as the publication of your personal information online. In addition to providing alerts, ID Screen can guide you through the best solution when your identity may be at risk. It can be difficult to know how to respond without expert guidance, but a professional advisor will give you the tools you need to protect yourself.
4. Connect With ID Screen To Restore Your Accounts
In some cases, cybercriminals may be successful in seizing control of an account and prohibiting access by the rightful owner. This can be an incredibly stressful situation — especially when the account is your primary bank or credit card. Customer service at the institution may have a limited ability to assist you, but ID Screen has the resources to restore your accounts.
An expert will help you devise a recovery plan tailored to your unique scenario. This plan will include step-by-step instructions for halting further exploitation and regaining access to your accounts. ID Screen can help you enact this plan by helping you freeze your credit and recoup any losses you may have incurred as a result of fraud.
5. Invest in Financial Protection Against Dark Web Threats
The dark web is the infamous underbelly of the internet, and this reputation is well-earned. In addition to criminal transactions and illegal activity, you can easily find personal data for sale on this part of the web. If your data happens to be intercepted, it might pop up for sale on the dark web, and identity thieves can then buy it and exploit it.
Dark web surveillance is one of the most important services that ID Screen offers to clients. ID Screen continuously searches thousands of website pages with state-of-the-art data analysis tools. This detects your data on the dark web and allows you to further secure your identity. This is important given that 17% of EU internet users say they log onto the dark web on a daily basis.
6. Talk With ID Screen Experts About Financial Protection
Being proactive is the best way to secure your finances. There are certainly ways that you can restore compromised accounts and recover from identity theft, but your life will be much easier if you can avoid these experiences in the first place. ID Screen makes it simple to do so by putting financial protection on autopilot. With a comprehensive suite of tools to utilize, you can be confident that your identity and personal data are safe.
If you ever happen to have questions about the security of your finances, ID Screen experts are available to discuss your concerns and offer the advice you need. Agents can respond to any identity theft concerns or questions you may have. This gives you the ability to protect your assets and accounts before fraud comes to fruition, sparing you a tremendous amount of stress.
