There’s an awful lot about you online that some awful groups want to exploit.
The right combination of personal data points could help an identity thief fool a bank into opening a new, fraudulent line of credit in your name. Your alma mater, salary, and email address could help an online scammer craft the perfect phishing lure to trick you into donating to a bogus school fund. Your new address could be vulnerable to obsessive stalkers, your phone number could attract countless robocalls, and even your recent divorce status could make you a target for romance scammers.
There’s now a way to fight back, with Malwarebytes Personal Data Remover.
For years, the public have had few defenses to evolving online scams, as sensitive, personal details are all too easy to find online. Some of this data gets exposed through the major, corporate data breaches that now punctuate our lives, but some of this data isn’t “exposed” at all.
Instead, it’s traded through a bustling network of “data brokers” that work tirelessly to collect and sell people’s names, addresses, phone numbers, bankruptcy records, salaries, marital statuses, and more. This can generate easy money though hyper-precise online advertising, or it can be done to power “people search” sites that leave nearly nothing to a scammer’s imagination.
People deserve better.

Malwarebytes Personal Data Remover represents our latest advancement in extending cybersecurity beyond antivirus.
The truth is that modern threats to your privacy and your security have changed dramatically in a few short years, as cybercriminals are no longer focused only on infecting and controlling your device with viruses and malware. Rather, online scammers and thieves can glean relevant, personal details about your life to make it easier to steal your identity, take your money, or frighten you with empty ransom demands.
This is why, almost a year ago, we launched Identity Theft Protection to help people prevent and recover from online identity theft, followed by the release of our free Digital Footprint Portal that provides free, in-depth reports about what data of yours is currently exposed online.
With Malwarebytes Personal Data Remover, we hope to provide security and privacy beyond your device and into your entire experience online.
