What it is
Bitdefender Identity Theft Protection is a paid service for monitoring identity threats, credit activity, and potential fraud. It includes dark-web and breach monitoring, bank account monitoring, Social Security number tracking, account takeover monitoring, identity restoration, and identity-theft insurance. Breach Monitor assesses more than 1,300 factors, while Dark Web Threat Monitoring searches for personal information offered for sale. Credit reports and scores are available from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion; Standard monitors one bureau, while Premium monitors up to three. Monitoring can include social media, medical ID fraud, and identity-threat alerts. Premium also adds bank, credit-card, and investment alerts, change-of-address checks, court records, and sex-offender registry monitoring. Certified Protection Experts provide 24/7 U.S.-based restoration help, including lost-wallet assistance and credit-freeze guidance. The service works through Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari after account activation and onboarding. It is available in the United States and requires a valid Social Security number. Subscriptions renew automatically, with cancellation through Bitdefender Central or support.
