Identity theft isn’t just a headline you scroll past — it’s a real threat that can turn your life upside down. From drained bank accounts to ruined credit scores, the fallout can be overwhelming. That’s why we’re excited to announce that Surfshark One+ now includes identity theft coverage.
What is identity theft coverage?
Identity theft coverage is a feature of the Surfshark One+ bundle that covers the costs of identity recovery. It offers up to $1M in coverage for expenses such as document replacement and legal fees. You’ll also have access to a licensed identity theft investigator. This coverage is available for US residents, excluding New York State.
Why does identity theft coverage matter?
Fraud, scams, and data leaks are on the rise across the United States. Every time a company experiences a breach or a scammer gets smarter, your personal information becomes more vulnerable. The reality is that traditional security measures alone can’t guarantee your identity won’t be compromised.
That’s where identity theft coverage comes in. It offers peace of mind by covering the costs of identity restoration, legal support, and mental health counseling. Instead of facing the recovery process alone — and paying for it out of pocket — you’ll have professional help and financial backing every step of the way.
What does identity theft coverage include?
Surfshark One+ identity theft coverage offers:
- Professional support from a licensed identity theft investigator;
- Up to $1M reimbursement for expenses incurred while restoring your identity, including:
- Credit bureau reports;

- Lost wages, including child and elder care (up to $5,000);
