NEW
YORK, Oct. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Robokiller,
the app that eliminates 99% of robocalls and robotexts, today
announced the addition of personal data protection to its mobile
security suite. Using Robokiller, users can now identify where
their data — including their phone number — is exposed and remove
it from data broker sites.
Scammers often scour the web for phone numbers and other
sensitive information to scam their victims, which makes consumers
who are unknowingly exposed online prime targets for
fraud. The average consumer has information like their
phone number, financial details, name, and address on more than 35
data broker websites, making them vulnerable to significant
financial losses. To compound matters, AI scams are soaring in
popularity, further underscoring the need for a comprehensive
security solution.
Americans receive billions of spam calls and texts each month
and combined they've lost a total of $46
billion so far in 2023, according to Robokiller's
mid-year phone scam report. Thanks to Robokiller's new personal
data protection features, consumers now have the power to help stop
their information from falling into the wrong hands and, as a
result, better protect themselves against costly phone scams and
other types of fraud.
Robokiller's personal data protection works like this:
- When you sign up for personal data protection, Robokiller
will ask for your first and last name, email address, and other
essential information to verify your details before the first
scan.
- Robokiller then does the work for you by scanning data broker
websites to identify where your personal data is exposed.
- Once Robokiller finds exposures, the app will either
remove the data or provide instructions to do so. Then every 90
days, Robokiller will automatically rescan data broker websites to
find new exposures, so your personal information remains
protected.

"The addition of personal data protection further strengthens
Robokiller's arsenal of spam-fighting technology, expanding into
preventative measures and is an end-to-end solution to protect your
privacy," said Giulia Porter, Vice
President at Robokiller. "When consumers have more control over
their online presence, scammers have fewer ways to reach and
deceive them. We're excited about this development and believe the
end result will be fewer victims of phone scams."
Robokiller's personal data protection is included in its
Premium+ subscription tier or can be purchased separately as a
standalone one-time purchase. To download the app or to sign up for
Robokiller Premium+, visit the Apple App
Store or Google Play.
