How to Check the Dark Web for Compromised Info

More and more our clients are getting messages letting them know their personal information has been compromised and is now out on the Dark Web for sale.

Wait? What’s the Dark Web? And how do I check if I’ve been compromised?

Where is the Dark Web?

Believe it or not, the Dark Web is real. The Dark Web is a group of websites that exist on an encrypted network but can’t be found by using traditional search engines or visited by using traditional browsers. Almost all sites on the Dark Web hide their identity using the Tor encryption tool.

So How do I check the Dark Web?

So you’d like to know how to search the dark web for your personal information, and is it even safe?

Yes, it’s safe. If you have an e-mail address it’s already somewhere on the internet.

In addition, you’re not putting in a password or creating an account to run the check.

What next?

1. Reset the password for your e-mail account, and any other online accounts where you use your e-mail address to log in.
2. Create strong passwords, and check your bank and credit card accounts for fraudulent activity.
3. Enable Two-factor authentication (2FA) on your e-mail account and any other account with financial or personal information. Two-factor authentication is an extra layer of security designed so that you’re the only person who can access your account, even if someone knows your password. With two-factor authentication, your account can only be accessed on devices you trust. When you want to sign in to a new device for the first time, you’ll need to provide two pieces of information—your password and the six-digit verification code that’s automatically displayed on one of your trusted devices, like your phone. By entering the code, you’re verifying that you trust the new device.
