NordVPN, an innovative cybersecurity company, now includes essential identity theft recovery coverage in its cyber insurance benefits for customers in the United Kingdom. This ID theft recovery coverage complements the scam loss recovery protection that the company already offers through partnerships with select insurance providers.
Cyber insurance benefits are included in the NordVPN Ultimate bundle subscription plan at no additional cost. This plan also features the NordVPN virtual private network service, the NordPass password manager, and other advanced security features.

“Identity theft is a crime that can lead to multiple other offenses and severe financial losses, as criminals use stolen identities to commit further fraud. That’s why we are enhancing our cyber insurance benefits to bridge the cyber protection gap in the areas that matter most today and to support our customers affected by cybercriminals,” says Tomas Sinicki, managing director at NordProtect.
Currently, NordVPN’s cyber insurance benefits for customers in the United Kingdom include ID theft recovery and scam loss recovery.
ID theft recovery provides reimbursement for necessary legal expenses incurred while restoring a user's identity after falling victim to identity theft. It includes restoration of the user’s credit rating, e-money accounts, bank accounts, mortgages, and loans.

Additionally, it ensures the removal of any civil judgments wrongfully entered against the user and helps prevent further fraudulent use of their identity. Furthermore, ID theft recovery reimburses lost income if the user has to take time off work to resolve identity theft issues.
Scam loss recovery provides reimbursement when a user has transferred funds from a personal account in response to a cyber scam. This includes instances where victims are deceived into opening or responding to fraudulent emails, text messages, or phone calls that appear to be from legitimate entities or trusted contacts.
