Identity theft is the theft of someone’s personal information such as passport number, usernames, emails, phone numbers, driver’s licence details and banking details. It can be stolen directly or bought from identity thieves. Identity information is stolen or fraudulently acquired to impersonate the victim for various purposes:
• Applying for financial services such as loans and credit cards or other web-based services. This is known as financial fraud. Fraudulent loan applications are very common
• Gain access to the victim’s bank account or other online services such as email, entertainment services and so on
• Evade legal prosecution or other consequences by providing false identities. For instance, a false identity might be used to avoid being put on the Sexual Offenders list

When you set up an account, you enter the details you want to protect. This could be debit card and bank account numbers, passport details, email addresses and passwords. In short, its anything you hold valuable. BullGuard Identity Protection then monitors the web 24/7 for these details. Should they appear on the dark net, social media platforms, online forums or other online sites, you are notified immediately with advice on what steps you need to take.

ID theft is usually the result of companies and organisations that fail to secure the data they hold:
• Vulnerable IT infrastructure allows attackers to enter servers and simply copy entire databases
• Disgruntled employees can leak information on the web that might enable an attacker to gain access to a business’ servers and copy private user information
• Companies fail to take appropriate measures to securely store their data on their servers for instance when private user info is not encrypted

Identity Protection is only available for United Kingdom, USA, Canada, Denmark, Ireland, Germany,
