The plan will be a free of charge for 12 months. Sony will begin  sending out activation emails in the next few days. This offer is  limited however, you must redeem your code by June 18.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"readmore\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here are some details for the AllClear ID Plus protection plan.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cyber monitoring and surveillance of the Internet to detect  exposure of an AllClear ID Plus customer\u2019s personal information,  including monitoring of criminal web sites and data recovered by law  enforcement. If his\/her personal information is found, the customer will  be alerted by phone and\/or email and will be provided advice and  support regarding protective steps to take. The customer will also  receive monthly identity status reports. Debix works with an alliance of  cyber-crime experts from the government, academia and industry to  provide these services.<\/li>\n<li>Priority access to licensed private investigators and identity  restoration specialists. If an AllClear ID Plus customer receives an  alert, or otherwise suspects that he\/she may be the victim of identity  theft, the customer can speak directly, on a priority basis, with an  on-staff licensed private investigator, who will conduct a comprehensive  inquiry. In the case of an identity theft, the customer can work with  an identity restoration specialist to contact creditors and others, and  take necessary steps to restore the customer\u2019s identity.<\/li>\n<li>A $1 million identity theft insurance policy per user to provide  additional protection in the event that an AllClear ID Plus customer  becomes a victim of identity theft. This insurance would provide  financial relief of up to $1 million for covered identity restoration  costs, legal defense expenses, and lost wages that occur within 12  months after the stolen identity event.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A similar plan is currently in the works for other countries but as  of now is only available to US residents. An identity theft plan that  would cover up to $1 million dollars in damages is a surprising offer.  It lets gamers know Sony is serious about protecting their users&#8217; data  going forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sony will offer a free identity theft protection service called &#8220;AllClear ID Plus.&#8221; The service will be available<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3552","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-geeky-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3552","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3552"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3552\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3553,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3552\/revisions\/3553"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3552"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3552"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3552"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
