      does this work for Europeans?

      @homesecurityheroes  11 місяців тому +1

      Some of it will, not all of it. VPN and antivirus will, as will dark web alerts. Credit Monitoring is country specific and right now Aura is US only.

      What about the lawsuits of data extortion? That's all those companies do, like truthfinder. They source data information of everyone then sell it to those with an interest who will pay $ for it which is extortion! It's tech fraud & people should be entitled to a portion of the sales & people should be able to opt out their intellectual & physical property data from these companies extorting it! The companies should be having to contact people before data is sourced or sold for permission first which isn't happening! I shouldn't have to be paying a company like Aura a monthly fee to stop the unlawful extortion of my intellectual & physical property data, public or not public!

    Aura quickly wiped some links off of my list of web sites that I've used for years to save money every month on car washes, grocery coupon, etc.. All these were trusted links that never caused any problems. Can't wait for Aura to expire next month! I'll go back to my old Identity Theft service that was better, cheaper and never caused issues like Aura does!

      @@homesecurityheroes My pleasure. Most people end up buying services but do not know how to manage them properly. I'm no exception. I would get something, set it and forget it. Today, subscriptions/services are so much more dynamic. How would you suggest managing them to get the most of out them on a month-to-month basis? I think that might be a good topic for conversation. Have a blessed day brother!

      @homesecurityheroes  10 місяців тому +4

      Great question! Honest answer: it's impossible for me to say.
      All software companies are integrating AI right now.
      My question for any company is: will you do what you promise to? If the answer is yes, I'll give them a try. I don't place too much weight on how they achieve a particular result, just that they achieve it somehow. Does that help?

    • @homesecurityheroes
      @homesecurityheroes  Місяць тому

      I think that re-selling your information would pose an existential threat to any identity protection company and wouldn't be worth the risk for them to do so.
      But then again, credit bureaus appear to have been doing so for years so...
      It's totally reasonable to decide not to turn over your PII to a company if you don't want to.

    What does the insurance cover? LifeLock states they cover bank account losses. Some others like Experian do not cover bank account losses and only cover fees associated with getting your money back. Does aura have an account reimbursement element to their insurance?

    • @homesecurityheroes
      @homesecurityheroes  10 місяців тому +1

      Yes, Aura advertises a cash recovery component: www.aura.com/legal/5m-insurance
      This is one of the few areas where we (currently) take the companies we review at their word. It's really hard to put their insurance policies to the test in the same way as, say, dark web alerts or VPN performance.

    What happens if your name/identity is found on the dark web? Does Aura take care of it for you or do I need to pay more for that service?

    • @homesecurityheroes
      @homesecurityheroes  6 місяців тому +2

      Unfortunately there is no way to remove it once it's out there😞
      What dark web monitoring is designed to do is alert you to particular credentials that have been exposed. For instance, if you found that the password to your main email account had been leaked and published online, you'd want to change that immediately.
      You can check haveibeenpwned.com to get a sense of which of your credentials may have been leaked in the past.

    I clicked on your link (on my phone) and I did a bare Google search on my computer and the pricing is the same across the board. There is no discount when using your link.
    I'll give your video a like for the content, but I won't be using your link.

    • @homesecurityheroes
      @homesecurityheroes  Рік тому

      Fair - you are entitled to the max discount possible. There was an issue a few weeks ago when they were updating their discounts, I'm guessing you went through our link at the same time.
      Updated discounts should be working now and will be as good or better than what you get by going direct to Aura's website.
      Thanks for your thoughtful comment 😀
