WHAT’S IDENTITY THEFT?
Cybercriminals and hackers love getting their hands on your data because they use it to scam and steal from you. But even worse is when they get enough data to steal your identity.
With the right details, a scammer can drain your bank account, take out loans in your name, shop online at your expense, and even steal your medical records. In the worst case, a criminal can literally steal your identity and sell it to someone else. Someone else can use your SSN, get a passport and start a new life using your name and identity.
HOW DOES GUARDIO PROTECT ME?
It all starts with data leaks. Guardio searches all corners of the internet, including the Dark Web, for your data. If we find it’s been leaked or exposed somewhere it shouldn't be, we let you know immediately. This gives you crucial time to protect or update your most sensitive data - passwords, credit cards, etc - before the bad guys can sell it. This is how you stay safe from identity theft.
WHAT’S A DATA LEAK?
Simply put, a data leak is when your personal, sensitive information is exposed online. These days we do everything online. We shop online, manage our bank account, speak to the doctor, take out insurance, pay our bills, order pizza - you name it. Most people have, on average, around 130 active online accounts at any time. And every one of those accounts starts with your email address. Every time you sign up or log in, you give your email address, along with a bunch of other details.
Sometimes data is leaked by accident, but more often it is stolen. Data can be stolen in a phishing attack, or in a data breach. When hackers attack a platform or company website, they steal customer records. Millions, if not billions of records are stolen every year. Hackers breach a company and leak the data they steal online.
SUBSCRIPTION PRICING AND TERMS:

January 5, 2025
We made a few tweaks here and there to improve the overall experience.
Stay safe!
Fraudulently took money from my account as they set up a second account under a second email address I put in for the free trial (it asks you if there are any other email addresses you would like to include in the monitoring risks). They pulled a full year subscription from my bank account when I cancelled the free trial. Everything I have shows it was cancelled and the reason I cancelled it was because I saw that charge pending in my back account when I had set it up to renew monthly after the free trial period. Do not fall for this scam. I’m reporting this company immediately. Give me back my $119 now!!!!!
