According to McAfee’s 2022 Consumer Research, 75% of consumers are concerned that their financial information is compromised. Meanwhile, 76% worry their identity might be stolen from an online transaction and 70% are concerned their information ends up on the dark web. Created to address growing consumer privacy and identity theft concerns and deliver comprehensive support and peace of mind, McAfee+ is available in Italy starting at €44.95 for the first year.
McAfee+ was purpose-built to provide online protection that includes proactive monitoring of the dark web for personal information, and the integration of McAfee’s acclaimed antivirus protection and Secure VPN. To bolster identity theft protection, McAfee+ Advanced includes expert assistance for identity restoration in cases of identity theft and lost wallet support.
“We’re spending more and more of our time online for work, education, social media, banking and communications to family and friends and with that comes risk of cybercriminals looking to land malware in our devices, steal identities, access private information and more,” said Vonny Gamot, Head of EMEA, McAfee. “McAfee+ is designed to deliver against those trends and threats, by helping users be more protected against identity breaches to minimize future threats.”
