Norton Intelligence Calls for Greater Scam Awareness, Releases 48-hr Recovery Guide for Victims
Norton Intelligence today issued an urgent call for increased public awareness around the rising surge in online scams, fraud, and digital exploitation. In response to the escalating number of victims seeking help after financial or data compromise, the organization has released a comprehensive 48-Hour Scam Recovery Guide—a step-by-step plan designed to help victims take fast action, limit damage, and begin the recovery process with confidence.
Scams continue to break new records globally, with millions losing money, personal data, and access to critical accounts each year. Norton Intelligence, a digital safety and cyber-investigation initiative, emphasizes that the first 48 hours after a scam are the most critical, often determining whether assets can be recovered and whether additional harm can be prevented.
A Critical Gap in Public Awareness
“Many people freeze after realizing they’ve been scammed. They don’t know what to do, who to call, or what steps matter most,” said Lisa Chen of Norton Intelligence. “Our 48-hour guide simplifies that chaos. It gives victims a clear, actionable roadmap during one of the most stressful moments of their lives.”
The guide outlines essential actions, including:
- Immediate account lockdown and password resets
- Bank and financial institution alerts
- Device security checks and malware scans
- Reporting to relevant agencies for documentation and potential recovery
- Asset-recovery pathways depending on the type of scam
- How to monitor for identity theft in the days and weeks following
A Growing Threat Landscape
Recent trends show that scammers are becoming more sophisticated, using stolen identity data, AI-generated communication, and impersonation schemes to deceive victims. Norton Intelligence warns that scam prevention requires a combination of public education, stronger digital hygiene, and quick post-incident response.
“Scammers exploit confusion. Awareness and immediate action are powerful tools for reclaiming control,” added [Spokesperson Name].
Commitment to Helping Victims Recover
The 48-Hour Scam Recovery Guide is part of Norton Intelligence’s broader mission to empower individuals, families, and businesses with practical tools, investigation resources, and recovery strategies.
The guide is now available for free at Norton Intelligence Website, along with additional resources such as:
- Scam identification checklists

- Asset recovery support channels
- Educational materials for high-risk groups, including seniors and small businesses
