Protect your identity ― Thieves will do anything to steal it

We live in a digital world, and most of our daily activities are online. Posting that new selfie, sharing thoughts, or video calling with your family. In fact, you’re probably reading this article on your computer, tablet, or mobile. This digital world brings much flexibility but unfortunately also threats.

The risk of having your data leaked or stolen has rapidly increased in recent years. Identity thieves stole around $52 billion from Americans last year. And you think, “It won’t happen to me.” Don’t be fooled — you can lose personal data while doing typical everyday online activities like ordering food, shopping or booking a flight. Almost half (47%) of Americans have had their personal information exposed by cybercriminals.

That is why we added the right defense by adding identity protection to the #1 personal cyber protection solution ― Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office. It will help you to protect yourself and your family online and is available for all our Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office Advanced and Premium subscribers on Windows in the US. Be protected from the (un)expected. 

If you are not careful or don’t have the proper protection, you can lose personal data. This can happen through phishing scams, hacking, fraud, email theft, and data breaches. When you become a victim of identity theft, thieves use your personal data to open new accounts, take over existing ones, they can end up on the dark web and be sold, to file tax returns, commit insurance fraud, and acquire additional identity-related documents such as health insurance. Traditional identity fraud losses totaled $20 billion in 2022, with 51% of fraudulent activity worldwide being identity fraud.

Booking your holiday or ordering food online is mainstream nowadays. But think about what can happen when you enter your payment information and one of those bad guys steals it! They can use it for anything, and once you know it's stolen, it’s usually too late.
