NordProtect, the innovative identity theft protection solution from NordVPN, has launched as a stand-alone service in the United States. This breakthrough allows users to access robust identity theft protection independently, without the need to purchase a NordVPN Prime plan. In addition, NordProtect now features online fraud coverage, offering financial compensation for victims impacted by various online scams and fraudulent activities.
Enhanced Protection Against Online Scams
The new online fraud coverage from NordProtect provides essential support for individuals affected by scams, including romance fraud, marketplace fraud, QR code scams, and fraudulent credit card charges. These enhancements are designed to help users mitigate financial losses resulting from increasingly sophisticated cybercriminal tactics.
“Cybercrime is evolving, with scammers continually devising new methods to exploit individuals. Our aim is to equip internet users with effective tools for protection. The rise of online fraud has led to substantial financial impacts, prompting us to enhance our services. Now, we offer improved monitoring of personal information and reimbursement options for specific online fraud cases, ensuring our customers have the support they require in critical times,” said a representative of NordProtect.
With NordProtect, clients may qualify for reimbursement of up to $10,000 for losses incurred due to online fraud, excluding investment scams.
Comprehensive Identity Theft and Cyber Extortion Protection
In addition to online fraud coverage, NordProtect delivers a complete range of identity theft protection and recovery services. Victims of identity theft can receive up to $1 million in reimbursement for costs associated with identity restoration, including legal fees and lost wages. Furthermore, NordProtect provides an identity restoration case manager to assist victims throughout the recovery process.
The service also encompasses cyber extortion protection, offering up to $50,000 for expert support and payments in cases of cyber threats, where criminals may attempt to delete or leak personal information or restrict access to systems and devices.
Advanced Monitoring and Alerts
NordProtect features credit monitoring services, delivering monthly updates on credit scores along with alerts for any suspicious credit activity. Additionally, the service provides 24/7 dark web monitoring, which informs users if their personal data—including email addresses, phone numbers, or Social Security numbers—has been compromised online.
Availability and Regional Options
Currently, NordProtect is available exclusively to users in the United States. NordVPN is also offering cyber insurance benefits in select global regions, which includes countries like the United Kingdom, Netherlands, France, Sweden, Germany, and Italy. In these areas, service bundles provide options for scam loss recovery and protection against online shopping fraud.
