What is LifeLock and how does it work?

LifeLock is an identity theft protection service that offers monitoring and recovery services to help safeguard individuals' personal information. It works by constantly scanning various databases and websites for unauthorized use of personal data, such as Social Security numbers, credit card information, and bank accounts. When suspicious activity is detected, LifeLock alerts subscribers through email, phone, or text message. The service also includes additional features such as credit reports and scores, lost wallet protection, and the ability to lock and unlock one's Equifax credit file. In the event that identity theft occurs, LifeLock provides identity restoration services and a reimbursement policy under its Million Dollar Protection™ Package to cover personal expenses incurred and legal costs up to the limit of one's plan.
