Identity Theft Protection

Identity Theft Protection

Identity Theft has become increasingly prevalent, driven by the general uptick in cybercrime. Hacking and large-scale data breaches have become normal. Not only do you now need to be prudent about where you store or share personal information (digital as well as physical locations), you also need protection to insure against potential losses caused by potential breaches, or simply put, theft of your most personal information.

Put A Protection Plan In Place

Identity Theft Protection provides this insurance through both, proactive and reactive strategies. Whether it be canvasing credit bureaus, DMVs, or other institutions that involve formal identification, Identity Theft Protection equips you with an ally that is relentlessly checking to ensure you’re not the recipient of ID fraud. There are times where information breaches are so large, that the theft of your personal information is all but inevitable (for example, the Equifax breach of 143 million records in 2017), in which case, Identity Theft Protection puts in place a recovery plan that restores you and your personal information quickly.

Things to Think About

Awareness of Identity Theft will continue to increase as people become increasingly more comfortable transacting online. Most people are vigilant regarding protecting their pin number at an ATM, or their credit card when paying for groceries, but you must remember to be just as vigilant with sharing your personal information online as well. Make sure the sites you share financial or other personal information on is secured, and stay current when reviewing your bank account and credit information, so you can detect anything that seems out of place as soon as possible.

As thieves evolve and become more creative in their attempts to acquire your personal information, you must as well. EINSURANCE can help you do so, so you can rest assured your Identity is protected!
