Dark web monitoring: does it put your data at risk?
Dark web monitoring services help individuals check if their personal information is already exposed online. These services do not put your data at further risk, as they do not upload or spread your information. Instead, they monitor existing breaches and alert users if their data is found in compromised databases.
- ▪Dark web monitoring checks breach dumps, hacker forums, and leaked databases for personal information.
- ▪These services do not upload or spread your data; they simply search for matches to your information.
- ▪Your information is already out there before it is found by monitoring services.
