Cyber insurance benefits expand to new locations
3 min read
NordVPN offers cyber insurance benefits to the residents of five additional European countries. These insurance benefits offer a safeguard if you ever fall for an online scam or shopping fraud. The internet can be an unnerving place, but with the right tools at hand, you can navigate and enjoy it more securely.
Which countries can access cyber insurance benefits?
Though cybersecurity tools help to keep hackers at arm’s length, human error can trip up even the most dedicated online security enthusiast. As internet users become smarter, so do hackers, creating more advanced phishing techniques.
NordVPN seeks to make its customers feel more confident online. While previously cyber insurance benefits in European continent were only available in the UK, we have expanded them to five new locations:
- The Netherlands
- France
- Sweden
- Germany
- Italy
If you reside in any of these five countries and have the NordVPN Ultimate bundle subscription, you can now receive financial reimbursements when you fall for a scam or online shopping fraud. The best part is that cyber insurance benefits are integrated into the NordVPN Ultimate bundle without costing you an extra penny. The subscription plan also includes the NordVPN virtual private network, the NordPass password manager, and other advanced features.
What do cyber insurance benefits cover?
The NordVPN cyber insurance benefits cover two groups of threats internet users face the most.
Scam loss recovery
Hackers are skilled at faking emails, text messages, and even phone calls to make them look like they come from legitimate sources or trusted people. The scam loss recovery benefit acts as a safety net: If you ever fall victim to hackers’ cunning and send them money from your personal account, you can seek reimbursement for your lost funds.
Online shopping fraud recovery
Thanks to plenty of online shopping sites, you can buy almost any item or service on the internet. Sadly, not all of these sites are genuine. Hackers are smart enough to create doppelgangers of legitimate websites and trick online users into buying items from fake platforms. If you realize you have made your purchase on a fraudulent site, you may be able to receive a reimbursement for the funds you have lost.
Cyber insurance benefits allow customers to claim reimbursements of up to €5,000 in a 12-month period.
