Dark Web Monitoring automatically scans the darkest corners of the internet for data leaks. Whenever your personal information is detected, you receive notifications to help secure your accounts, update your passwords, and protect your identity—before it’s too late.
You can't address a problem you aren't aware of. Dark Web Monitoring provides the awareness necessary for you to take appropriate action if your data is compromised.
It only takes one compromised online store for some of your most personal information—such as your full name, address, account number, password, and even credit card details—to leak and be sold on the dark web.
Even if you don't shop online, you likely use your credit card at physical stores. Data breaches can target any type of information stored digitally, including credit and debit card data used for in-store purchases.
The dark web is a concealed segment of the deep web that isn’t indexed by search engines. Due to the anonymity of the dark web, cybercriminals can covertly buy and sell information illegally, much like two individuals meeting in a dark alley to exchange cash for illicit goods.
When you dig deeper, you’ll discover that there’s much more to the web than what initially appears...
The surface web consists of webpages indexed by search engines like Google™ and Bing. While it contains billions of web pages, it represents only a small fraction of the entire web.
The surface web is easily searchable, public, and indexed, making it user-friendly. However, much of the internet remains hidden, forming the deep web and dark web, which are not indexed by search engines and require specific tools to access.
The deep web consists of webpages that require login credentials for access. Unlike the dark web, it includes frequently visited sites such as your email account and banking websites.
These pages are not indexed by traditional search engines for privacy and security reasons. The deep web also encompasses private databases, academic resources, and certain government portals. Although not inherently malicious, it requires proper authentication to ensure sensitive information remains protected.
Dark web sites are anonymously hosted and can only be accessed through specialized software, commonly known as “TOR” (The Onion Router). Although the dark web has legitimate uses, it is also a hub for illicit online marketplaces and various illegal activities.
Due to its anonymity, the dark web has become a haven for those seeking to engage in activities beyond the reach of law enforcement. While some users access it for privacy and freedom of speech, its darker side poses significant risks.
Illuminate the dark web by receiving notifications for potential threats to your identity and securing your accounts and devices against hackers and malware with Webroot 360 with LifeLock Select.
