Norton Identity Advisor Plus is a paid service for identity theft monitoring, alerts, restoration help, and insurance for covered losses and expenses. Dark Web Monitoring searches dark web locations and private forums for personal information and sends a notification if it appears. Monitoring starts with the subscriber’s email address; more information can be added after signing in. Financial Monitoring provides an overview and alerts users to suspicious bank account or credit card transactions. Social media monitoring checks popular sites for suspicious activity, but availability varies and chats and direct messages are not monitored. An Identity Restoration Specialist guides subscribers through restoration and can help with disputes until a case closes. Stolen wallet assistance provides guidance on cancelling or replacing cards and identification documents. Listed insurance coverage totals up to A$58,000, subject to terms and exclusions. The plan is A$99.99 a year for the first year, then automatically renews annually at A$119.99 unless cancelled. It covers one account with app and website access on unlimited devices. A 30-day trial is listed; there is no free plan.
