Users of one of the best VPN services, NordVPN, can now receive compensation if they fall victim to a cyberattack. NordVPN has added cyber insurance benefits to its top-tier VPN subscription in an effort to support customers affected by cybercriminals. The insurance benefits are available to all subscribers of NordVPN Ultimate in the UK and US at no additional cost.The co-founder and co-CEO of Nord Security, Tomas Okman, stated that while cybersecurity tools protect users from a technical standpoint, human error remains a significant factor in cybersecurity. Cybercriminal tactics are becoming more sophisticated, and even knowledgeable users can fall for scams. Recent surveys have found that millions of people in the UK and US have been scammed or had their online identities stolen and sold on bot markets.
The new cyber insurance from NordVPN allows UK customers to claim reimbursements of up to £5,000 in a 12-month period if they cannot recover their lost money through their bank or credit card company. US customers can receive up to $1 million for expenses related to restoring their identity and up to $100,000 if they are affected by cyber extortion.
NordVPN's cyber insurance is part of its mission to secure customers against evolving online threats. In addition to this insurance, NordVPN has also launched NordLabs to provide a platform for engineers and developers to test new ideas and approaches to online security. They have also released Sonar, an AI-enabled tool to combat phishing attacks.
NordVPN Ultimate subscribers in the UK and US can access the cyber insurance benefits for a monthly cost of less than $6. The subscription also includes a password manager tool, NordPass, and 1TB of encrypted cloud storage. The aim of these cyber protection benefits is to complement NordVPN's technological solutions and support customers affected by cyberattacks.
