      Well, not exactly…

      “This identity protection service includes two years of credit and dark web monitoring to help detect any misuse of your information, as well as a $1,000,000 insurance reimbursement policy and fully managed identity restoration in the event that you fall victim to identity theft.”

        Two years is nothing. It’s literally a pittance in order to silence to plebs.

        My data got stolen from the DOD in 2015, and I still have identity theft protection from it, and STILL have issues pop up every year. Without the last 8 years of protection, I’d be completely fucked.

            You do have a point there. But I have a very poor view of companies and their data breaches, so I’m certainly biased.
