Google is now rolling out its dark web monitoring feature to all consumers with a Google account, eliminating the need for a Google One subscription. The dark web report will be integrated into the “Results about you” feature, which helps users find and request the removal of their personal information from search results. This combined solution aims to provide a comprehensive approach to protecting users’ online presence by monitoring both the regular web and the dark web for personal data breaches.
Google’s dark web monitoring service uses advanced algorithms and machine learning to scan the dark web for signs of compromised user information, including email addresses, phone numbers, home addresses, and Social Security numbers. When any of this information is found on the dark web, users will receive immediate notifications and guidance on how to secure their exposed data.
