Allstate Identity Protection Launches Elder Fraud Center

/in

There’s a myth that older adults don’t embrace new technologies, but seniors are more connected than ever. Unfortunately, seniors are common scam targets because they often have nest eggs saved for retirement. Cybercriminals may use tactics such as scam texts, fake telemarketing calls, and phishing emails to target the elderly.

After seeing this devastation firsthand, ALLtech’s partners at Allstate Identity Protection have launched a new Elder Fraud Center, offering guidance and information about scams and identity fraud for older people, and their families and caregivers. The new interactive help center offers:

  • A resource hub with articles and tips about how to fight fraud
  • Alerts for common scams targeting seniors
  • A helpline to easily connect with certified specialists who can help

Through ALLtech, you have access to the Allstate Identity Protection Pro Plus Plan, which can be offered to cover employee only or employee plus family. The family plan’s generous definition includes “under roof or under wallet,” but also can cover relatives 65+ — even if they’re not under the same roof or wallet. Some features of the plan include:

  • Monitoring features that scan financial and credit records daily
  • Near real-time alerts for suspicious activity
  • The ability to appoint a trusted family member, friend, or professional as an agent pursuant to a Power of Attorney
  • Full remediation if identity theft occurs
  • Reimbursement of many fraud-related expenses, including stolen funds and legal fees

Is Your Data Protected From Cyber Attacks? ALLtech is There for You

/in

Did you know that the professional services industry — including information technology — was the fifth most attacked industry in 2020? The threat of cybercrime is all around us, as shown by the recent cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline that created gas shortages this May. And ALLtech wants to make sure you have the resources to protect your employees by offering the Allstate Identity Protection Pro Plus plan, which includes:

  • Identity monitoring
  • Credit monitoring
  • Remediation
  • Reporting

Across the professional services industry, Allstate has tracked attacks involving data theft, server access and ransom demands, including the following trends:

  • 35% of attacks on professional services in 2020 were ransomware attacks — a higher percentage than any other industry
  • 13% of attacks on professional services were data theft, and another 13% were server access
  • 8.7% of all attacks on the top 10 industries came from the professional services industry

In a brochure outlining these trends, Allstate notes that some of the reasons this industry is targeted include:

  • Professional service companies hold sensitive data that threat actors seek
  • Professional service organizations are particularly attractive to attackers because of the avenue they provide to additional victims
  • Threat actors believe professional services organizations are more likely to pay the ransom
