Key Terms

identity theft, dark web, data broker sites, scam reimbursement

4 terms

identity theft financial

"Identity theft is no longer a single moment of fraud."

Identity theft is when someone steals another person’s personal details—such as name, Social Security number, bank account or login credentials—and uses them to impersonate that person to access money, credit, or services. For investors this matters because it can lead to direct financial losses, regulatory penalties, lawsuits, and damaged customer trust that can reduce revenue and stock value, much like a break‑in that shakes confidence in a business.

dark web technical

"Proactive Identity Alerts: Notifies you about dark web activity, social media risks..."

The dark web is a hidden part of the internet that standard search engines and browsers don’t show, accessible only with special software and settings that mask users’ identities. For investors, it matters because stolen customer data, leaked corporate documents or illegal marketplaces found there can lead to regulatory fines, cleanup costs, loss of customer trust and sudden drops in a company’s stock value—like a hidden back alley that can damage a storefront’s reputation and finances.

data broker sites technical

"plus automatic deletion of your personal data from data broker sites."

Data broker sites are businesses that collect, package and sell detailed personal, consumer and business information gathered from public records, online activity and commercial sources. For investors, they matter because the data they hold can affect a company’s reputation, regulatory risk and customer trust—like a filing cabinet full of personal files that, if mishandled or exposed, can lead to fines, lost customers and sudden costs that hit a company’s value.

scam reimbursement financial

"$1.2 million in identity theft coverage and $5,000 in scam reimbursement..."

Scam reimbursement is the repayment of money to customers or investors who lost funds because of a fraud, fake scheme, or unauthorized transaction. Like an insurance payout after a break-in, it restores some or all of victims’ losses and can affect a company’s costs, legal exposure and reputation—important to investors because frequent or large reimbursements signal higher risk, potential regulatory scrutiny and possible impact on profits.

From everyday accounts to investments and asset ownership, LifeLock now helps protect the full spectrum of people's financial lives, amid $16.6 billion in reported cybercrime losses¹

TEMPE, Ariz. and PRAGUE, Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Identity theft is no longer a single moment of fraud. It's an ongoing risk that can affect many parts of a person's financial life, driven by scams, data exposure, and the misuse of personal information. As people open new accounts, build savings, make investments, or buy property, their financial lives become more complex, and new risks can quietly appear along the way.

Today, LifeLock, the leader in identity theft protection in the U.S. and part of Gen (NASDAQ: GEN), has announced new products designed for this reality, offering clearer, more comprehensive protection that adapts to the complexity of people's financial lives. From those with simple financial needs to those managing multiple accounts, investments, and assets, LifeLock has been rebuilt to evolve as people's lives and circumstances change, helping protect their finances from fraud and other hidden risks at every stage.

"We have strengthened our products across all stages of identity theft and financial fraud to better protect what people have worked hard to build," said Ian Bednowitz, General Manager of LifeLock. "We now automatically remove data from the public internet to make people less likely to be targeted, provide AI-powered and human supported scam detection to stop fraud in its tracks, and include scam reimbursement in addition to our Million Dollar Protection Package, helping to defend the livelihoods of customers, whether they fall victim once or multiple times."

The new LifeLock plans simplify decision-making for people by providing the right level of protection at every stage of their financial lives. They can start by protecting just one checking account, and as their financial lives become more complex, they don't need to worry about the risks of opening more accounts, making investments, or purchasing a home, as the protection offered by LifeLock can grow with them.
