New offering provides comprehensive security protection alongside credit and financial monitoring, alerts and recovery services to keep personal information safe and secure <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santa Clara, Calif. \u2013<\/strong> October 25, 2023 <\/strong>\u2013 Malwarebytes, a global leader in real-time cyber protection, today launched an essential new consumer solution, Identity Theft Protection<\/a>. The new service helps individuals secure their digital identities and defend against identity and online threats. Malwarebytes Identity Theft Protection includes real-time identity monitoring and alerts, robust credit protection and reporting and live agent-supported identity recovery and resolution services \u2013 backed by up to a $2 million identity theft insurance policy. The new service, paired with Malwarebytes\u2019 award-winning antivirus and VPN software, helps prevent criminals from stealing or using personal information to drain financial accounts, hack or impersonate social media accounts, damage a user\u2019s reputation or other online and identity-based attacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s digital life is complex and sometimes deceptive. According to new research from Malwarebytes<\/a>, identity theft ranks as people\u2019s third biggest concern when it comes to online security, just behind fear of financial accounts and personal data being breached \u2013 both of which play into identity theft. Of those surveyed 64% agree that identity theft protection is important, but only 13% have it. Consumers are also increasingly fearful of new technology. Malwarebytes gives consumers protection they can trust, alerting them when we see their information has been stolen and providing live agent support to restore their identity and replace lost items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven as we spend more and more of our lives online, we all know that the internet today can\u2019t be trusted,\u201d said Mark Beare, GM of Consumer Business Unit, Malwarebytes. \u201cConsumers need a tool that not only blocks threats like malware and phishing, but that also monitors and protects their digital identity, be that social media profiles, bank accounts or email. With Malwarebytes Identity Theft Protection, we provide a robust and exhaustive suite of services so individuals and families can rest easy knowing that we are actively working to keep them safe and protect their digital identity.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
