SCHUFA is expanding its identity fraud protection services with a free solution: With SCHUFA's new service, consumers can find out in seconds whether they have been the victim of data theft: The SCHUFA-IdentChecker searches for personal data from sources on the Internet, Darknet and Deep Web. Consumers can thus find out whether sensitive personal data such as IBAN, ID or credit card numbers have been circulated without authorisation and receive concrete recommendations for action.
Due to the digital acceleration instigated by Covid-19, online retailers, businesses, and their customers are at risk of the growing threat from fraudsters exploiting outdated and unsophisticated fraud prevention systems.
