Surfshark has launched an Antiscam Hub for iOS – a dedicated section within its app that consolidates five existing personal protection tools into a single, streamlined interface.The hub brings together Personal Email Masking, Alternative Number, Dark Web Monitoring, Unsafe Site Blocking, and Identity Theft Coverage, removing the need to navigate between separate areas of the app.We are seeing the best VPNs grow beyond traditional VPN protection in order to create complete cybersecurity packages, and Surfshark is the latest.Surfshark says the move targets the growing threat of social engineering. These are scams that exploit trust, urgency, and exposed personal data rather than software vulnerabilities, and it describes the hub as the foundation of a broader anti-scam roadmap.What's inside the Antiscam Hub?The five tools housed in the hub each target a different layer of personal exposure. Personal Email Masking shields your real email address from scammers, while Alternative Number does the same for your phone – but it's still a paid add-on.Dark Web Monitoring provides real-time alerts if your personal data surfaces in a breach or leak.Unsafe Site Blocking automatically prevents access to malicious and phishing websites – Surfshark says the feature flagged nearly 1.2 million new phishing and malware sites in the past month alone.Rounding out the hub is Identity Theft Coverage, which offers up to $1 million toward expenses like document replacement and legal fees, plus $1,000 for mental health counselling for affected users.It's worth noting that there are no new features, simply a consolidation of existing ones.An industry-wide shift
