Google’s dark web monitoring service will soon be free for all users
What information does Google monitor on the dark web?
Google monitors the dark web for stolen account information such as phone numbers, physical addresses, and email addresses associated with Google accounts6. The dark web monitoring service, also known as "dark web report," scans for personal information that might have been leaked or compromised, including names, addresses, phone numbers, email accounts, and Social Security Numbers (SSN).
When will Google's dark web reports become available to all users?
Google's dark web reports will become available to all users with a consumer Google Account starting later this month2. The feature was previously exclusive to Google One subscribers.
What is Google's "results about you" page used for?
Google's "Results About You" page allows users to monitor and request the removal of search results containing their personal information, such as phone numbers, home addresses, and email addresses. The tool streamlines the removal process and provides a convenient way for users to control their online presence and protect their privacy.
