With that, we have your back. And here\u2019s why.\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the U.S., reported cases of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/en-us\/identity-theft.html\">identity theft<\/a> continue to rise. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.experian.com\/blogs\/ask-experian\/identity-theft-statistics\/#:~:text=For%20the%20first%20half%20of,for%20the%20six%2Dmonth%20period.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">In the first half of 2022<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reported more than 600,000 cases of identity theft, with more than 230,000 of those reported cases involving credit card theft.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">And that\u2019s just what\u2019s been reported in the U.S. Far more crime goes unreported, and\u202f<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.javelinstrategy.com\/content\/Javelin-2021-Identity-Fraud-Study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">it is estimated that the cost of identity theft and fraud goes well into the billions of dollars<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Yet behind each stat is a person, a family, and a household that dealt with anything from a financial headache to a major life event no thanks to identity theft and fraud. Accordingly, we\u2019re seeing to it that every person has the tools to prevent this from happening to them.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Here\u2019s a little bit about our approach. We looked at some of the key areas where people\u2019s private information can be vulnerable and rolled out a set of features and services that can help make you safer than before. They\u2019re all part of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/en-us\/identity-theft\/protection.html?path=blogs\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">McAfee+, our latest line of comprehensive online protection<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. Depending on your plan and location, the following offer protections that can look after you, your privacy, and your identity\u2014along with your devices and the things on them too.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Connect safely with a VPN<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Unsecured networks can leave us vulnerable, like when we use public Wi-Fi. What\u2019s at issue is that a cybercriminal can potentially capture your login credentials and other personal information as you use a public network in a hotel, airport, coffee shop, library, and so forth.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">So, we made sure to include a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to keep your information protected from prying eyes. It does this easily by detecting when you\u2019re on a public network and automatically turning on your VPN. The VPN then scrambles or encrypts, your data as it flows over the network. Unlike some VPNs that require advanced settings to shield your data, our app offers seamless security.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Dark web monitoring<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Given that data breaches large and small continue to occur with more regularity than any of us would like, always-on monitoring of your private information is key.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Whether one of your personal accounts is hacked\u2013or worse\u2013another website somehow gets ahold of your data and subsequently gets breached, your data may end up on the dark web. This is where cybercriminals buy and sell information.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To detect these dangerous leaks, we included dark web monitoring, which alerts you if your log-in credentials have been exposed. It can even provide you with a link to the site that uses those credentials when the information is available. This allows you to swiftly reset your passwords, mitigating the risk.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Personal data cleanup<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We&#8217;ll scan some of the riskiest data broker sites and show you which ones are selling your personal info. We\u2019ll also provide guidance on how you can remove your data from those sites and with select products, we can even manage the removal for you. \u200b<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Identity theft insurance and recovery support<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Recovering from identity fraud or theft can be expensive. Not to mention time consuming. We\u2019ll help relieve the burden with $1M coverage for lawyer fees, travel expenses, lost wages, and more.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Should the unfortunate happen to you, we have your back. In several ways. We offer licensed recovery experts who can work with you any time, around the clock, all year long. These pros can use a limited power of attorney to do the heavy lifting for identity recovery, taking all necessary steps to repair identity and credit.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Ransomware coverage<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Our all-new ransomware coverage is now available, ready to help just in case\u2014all backed by expert advice to help you find the quickest and best possible path to recovery. In addition to eligibility for up to $25,000 in reimbursement due to ransomware losses, our team of experts can help you, determine the severity of a ransomware attack and learn what immediate action steps you can take.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Protection score<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Knowing your safe and staying that way just got far simpler. With a colorful view, you can see exactly what your Protection Score is at a glance, which compiles your overall levels of security, privacy, and identity theft protection. Better yet, if it spots gaps in your protection, it guides you through straightforward fixes that can make you safer than before.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It\u2019s an industry first, and something we all deserve\u2014the ability to clearly see exactly how secure you are and to quickly shore up your protection whenever it\u2019s needed.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Credit monitoring<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Everyone has credit, and everyone needs to protect it. McAfee\u2019s Credit Monitoring does just that. Whether the suspicious change in your report is big or small, we can help you detect it\u2014and take the right steps to correct it.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Credit freeze<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">You can put proactive protection in place by stopping unauthorized access to existing credit card, bank, and utility accounts or from new ones being opened in your name. Security freezes stop companies from looking at your credit profile, which halts the application process for loans, credit cards, utilities, new bank accounts, and more. A security freeze won&#8217;t affect your credit score. \u200b<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Ease of use<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Also on our list, we wanted to make personal protection easy to use and available across all your compatible devices. So, whether you\u2019re out with just your phone, or at home working at your PC, you have access to your protection, and can even pick up where you left off on a different device.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">It\u2019s about enjoying the internet<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ultimately, that\u2019s what any of us want\u2014to enjoy the internet with confidence, knowing that whatever it is we\u2019re doing online is secure.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The way we use the internet continues to evolve. After all, it wasn\u2019t long ago that the idea of using a phone to see who\u2019s at the front door may have seemed a bit odd. Let alone having a little chat with the speaker on your kitchen counter. Yet that\u2019s where we are today. And as the internet evolves, so will we. The protection we offer will cover your increasingly connected life in whatever shape that takes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">No question about it. We\u2019re committed to protecting you, your privacy, your identity, and certainly your devices too\u2014and making all of it simple.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Here\u2019s to a happy and secure year!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there\u2019s a particularly clear picture that\u2019s developed over the past couple of years, it\u2019s that our privacy and our&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":674,"featured_media":133966,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[6339,142,11626,11623],"coauthors":[3973],"class_list":["post-133951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy-identity-protection","tag-identity-protection","tag-tag-identity-theft","tag-identity-theft-prevention","tag-privacy-protection"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Protecting Your Privacy This Year | McAfee Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"If there\u2019s a particularly clear picture that\u2019s developed over the past couple of years, it\u2019s that our privacy and our personal identities are worth\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Protecting Your Privacy This Year | McAfee Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"If there\u2019s a particularly clear picture that\u2019s developed over the past couple of years, it\u2019s that our privacy and our personal identities are worth\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/privacy-identity-protection\/protecting-your-privacy-this-year\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"McAfee Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/McAfee\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:author\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/McAfee\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-01-06T14:12:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-06-18T07:42:31+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/300x200_ProtectingPrivacy.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"300\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"McAfee\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@McAfee\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@McAfee\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"McAfee\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"5 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/privacy-identity-protection\/protecting-your-privacy-this-year\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/privacy-identity-protection\/protecting-your-privacy-this-year\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"McAfee\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/#\/schema\/person\/47851fdb92fad9456152405839c92efa\"},\"headline\":\"Protecting Your Privacy This Year\",\"datePublished\":\"2023-01-06T14:12:43+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-06-18T07:42:31+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/privacy-identity-protection\/protecting-your-privacy-this-year\/\"},\"wordCount\":1111,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/privacy-identity-protection\/protecting-your-privacy-this-year\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/300x200_ProtectingPrivacy.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"identity protection\",\"identity theft\",\"Identity theft prevention\",\"Privacy protection\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Privacy &amp;
