Can you protect your data from being released on the dark web?

You’ve probably heard of the dark web and the importance of making sure your data isn’t available for sale there - but do you know why that's so important?

🔎 The dark web is a secretive and semi-hidden area of the internet that is not indexed by search engines like Google and Bing. To access it, users have to know the right channels and have the necessary tools.

🚧 It’s a common place for cybercriminals to trade or sell stolen data. So regular dark web scans let you know if any of your data is available for these bad actors to purchase.

🤷‍♂️ What can you do if your data is found on the dark web?
