Got questions about identity theft?

FAQs

Identity theft is when someone fraudulently uses another person's name and personal information to get credit, obtain loans, make purchases, etc. Thieves typically exploit this stolen data to open new credit card accounts, take out loans, drain bank accounts, make unauthorized purchases, file fake tax returns, or even commit crimes under the victim's name, often causing lasting damage to the victim's credit, finances, and reputation.

There are many signs that may indicate that your identity has been stolen. Here are a few to look out for: unfamiliar bank transactions, errors on your credit report, new debts for loans that you never applied for, unfamiliar credit card charges, unfamiliar medical bills, and your credit score dropping for no obvious reason.

There are many ways to avoid identity theft, including using strong passwords and PINs, limiting the amount of personal information you share online, and monitoring your bank statements for suspicious transactions. You can also help protect yourself using software from Avast which can monitor your emails for scams like spoofing and phishing.

If you become a victim of identity theft, change your passwords and login info on compromised online accounts. Notify your credit card companies. File an identity theft report with the relevant governmental authority. Managing these processes can be difficult, confusing, and time-consuming without help. That's why your Avast Secure Identity subscription includes an identity restoration specialist team to help you sort things out after your identity has been stolen.

Yes, Premium includes identity restoration support to help if your identity is stolen, so you do not have to handle everything on your own. It also includes identity theft reimbursement coverage of up to $1 million for eligible losses and expenses if something goes wrong.

Personal information exposed in a data breach can include key details such as your email address, phone number, and associated data. Avast Secure Identity monitors those important details so you can see what has been found and act early. 

Your information usually ends up on the dark web because of a data breach at a company or website where you had an account, not because of anything you did wrong. Common paths include: a service you use gets hacked and its user database is leaked or sold; malware on your device steals saved passwords or card details; a phishing scam tricks you into handing over credentials; or your details get scraped from public sources and bundled together. Once exposed, that data is often traded or posted on dark web forums and marketplaces where criminals buy it for fraud or identity theft.

If your personal information is found in a breach, act as early as you can. Start by reviewing what was exposed, then change affected passwords, secure your accounts, and watch for suspicious activities such as unusual logins, charges, or account changes.

Yes. Avast Secure Identity alerts you if your personal information, like your email address or phone number, appears in breaches or on the dark web, all in one place.

No. Avast Secure Identity helps you stay on top of potential identity issues without having to track every account on your own. The free experience alerts you if your personal information appears in data breaches or on the dark web, while Premium helps you monitor suspicious activities across your accounts with alerts, step-by-step guidance, and coverage if something goes wrong.
