Norton Identity Advisor Plus is a paid service for identity-theft monitoring, alerts, restoration guidance and insurance for covered losses and expenses. It continuously searches the dark web and private forums for personal information, initially monitoring the subscriber’s email address; more details can be added after sign-in. Financial Monitoring provides an overview and alerts about suspicious transactions on bank accounts and credit cards, as well as unwanted subscriptions. Social media monitoring checks accounts on popular sites for suspicious activity, though features vary by platform and chats and direct messages are not monitored. An Identity Restoration Specialist can guide restoration and help with disputes until the case is closed. Subscribers can also call for help cancelling or replacing cards and identification documents after a wallet theft. Listed insurance coverage totals up to A$58,000, subject to terms and exclusions. The listed first-year price is 99.99 AUD per year, then it renews annually at A$119.99 unless cancelled. A 30-day trial is listed; there is no free plan.
