Identity Theft Insurance
Updated: Feb 28
In 2019, the Internet Crime Complaint Center received 2047 complaints identified as ransomware with adjusted losses over $8.9 million, and that's only the cases that were reported.
Cybercriminals can wipe out savings in seconds and with such sophisticated tactics, they could be stealing your information even while you're online. Banks can save you from some identity theft but not all and most have set limits on amount and frequency of losses.
