LifeLock Augments Member Benefits with Stolen Funds Replacement

TEMPE, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–LifeLock, Inc. (NYSE: LOCK), a leading provider of proactive identity
theft protection services, announced a service enhancement that provides
members with even more protection in the event that they become victims
of identity fraud. The new benefit, Stolen Funds Replacement†, provides
reimbursement for funds stolen due to identity theft up to the limit of
the member’s plan.

“From our research, we know that consumers are very concerned about
protecting their financial assets,” said Dev Patel, chief product
officer at LifeLock. “Our members now have even more peace of mind,
knowing that if they do become victims of identity theft, we’re here to
help them restore their identities and recover stolen funds,
out-of-pocket personal expenses and legal fees.”

With the addition of Stolen Funds Replacement, LifeLock’s expanded
insurance coverage† now includes protection for three areas of potential
financial exposure:

  • Stolen Funds Replacement: If a member loses funds due to
    identity theft, and the LifeLock restoration service is unable to help
    recover the funds, the insurance provides coverage for the member’s
    losses up to his/her plan limits. This includes everything from
    fraudulent bank and investment account withdrawals to tax returns
    filed using a member’s name.
  • Personal Out-of-Pocket Expenses: If a member incurs expenses
    such as document fees, lost wages and travel costs relating to
    identity theft, the insurance provides coverage for the member’s
    losses up to his/her plan limits.
  • $1 Million Dollar Service Guarantee: In particularly complex
    cases, LifeLock’s efforts may require outside legal counsel and
    subject matter experts to assist our members in the restoration of
    their identity. In these situations, LifeLock will obtain the
    necessary services on behalf of the member.

“Just recently I learned of a LifeLock member who had his identity
stolen following a widespread email phishing hack,” continued Patel.
“The criminals quickly secured his login credentials, leading to a
rabbit hole of fraudulent money wire transfers. The fraudsters also
contacted the member’s accountant and tried to lure him into making
transfers. Thanks to LifeLock protection and the dogged efforts of our
restoration team, we resolved the member’s identity issues, covered his
legal fees and recouped his stolen assets. It’s real member stories like
this one that motivate all of us at LifeLock to work our hardest to keep
our members safe and protect them from bad actors.”

LifeLock offers three levels of service for its members, LifeLock®
Standard™ ($9.99/mo.), LifeLock Advantage™ ($19.99/mo.), and LifeLock
Ultimate Plus™ ($29.99), plus applicable sales tax. The company’s
premier plan, Ultimate Plus, offers up to $1 million in coverage for
each of the three areas of potential losses.

With a new identity fraud victim every two seconds, identity theft is a
growing problem for many consumers. A recent study by Javelin Strategy &
Research found that fraudsters stole $15 billion from 13.1 million U.S.
consumers last year.1
