We’ve espoused a lot of security and privacy tools at Android Community Deals, particularly VPN services that make you invisible to snooping eyes on the Internet. But sometimes, as hard as we try, we can still get compromised. And sometimes, that happens without our knowledge. Times like those, the important first step is getting informed when and where the compromise took place, so that you can take appropriate action at once. And this is exactly where the Passrock Hacker Protection service comes into play.
The way Passport works, it scours the so called “dark web” and underground forums to check for usage of your private information and credentials. The service can look out for credit card numbers, passwords, and up to 3 email accounts. If it discovers a leak or a hacking incident, it will immediately inform you of the incident, including details such as which data was compromised, when and where the data was found. This should allow users to take action, like close bank accounts or change passwords.
You can try out Passrock for free, and if you end up liking it a lot, you can take advantage of our limited time discount on the service. For only $24.99, which is 79 percent off the normal $120 fee, you get two years worth of protection. Passrock supports all platforms and devices and sends the alert over email. Do note that a maximum of 3 emails only can avail of this protection.
The one caveat to this setup is that the user implicitly trusts Passrock to keep his or her credentials safe, which practically means trusting a third party. That said, even Passrock admits that it isn’t infallible and it definitely can’t monitor everything, like offline activity. It might be best to first go through their FAQ before committing to the service.
