When large companies become victim of a cybercrime, your personal identifiable information such as name, address, and social security number become available in underground marketplaces on the on the Internet. And it’s available for cybercriminals to do as they please – such as open back accounts in your name or even assume your identity.
The Dark Web, also commonly known as the deep web, refers to a small segment of the Internet that is inaccessible via regular search engines or web browsers. Because of the dark web’s anonymity and secrecy, it’s become a popular venue for illegal marketplaces. Think of them as eBay or Amazon for illicit items such as stolen credit cards, drugs, unlicensed firearms, and individuals’ personal information.
Dark web monitoring services scour the deep web to find out if your email address and password is among the list of compromised credentials.
Billions of pieces of personal information have been stolen throughout the years the Internet has been in existence. You may occasionally hear in the news that some financial institution or large retailer has been hacked. These hacks normally result in the unauthorized access of personal data – and if you’re a customer of one of these companies – data that may be yours.
Free dark web scanners scour a large database of illicit marketplaces found on the dark web for any record of your personal information. An alert is immediately issued if any of your information is found. The sooner you’re alerted – the sooner you can take remediating action.
