What is dark web monitoring?

Dark web monitoring is an internet security service that checks whether your personal details appear on the dark web. If it detects your information on dark web pages, forums, or marketplaces, it sends you an instant security alert. You can then take immediate action to secure your accounts, like changing your passwords and enabling MFA.

FAQ

What is the dark web?

The dark web is a dangerous, unregulated, and hidden part of the internet often used for illegal activity. It exists on darknets — internet networks that you would need specific tools and configurations to access. Cybercriminals often use the dark web for various illicit activities, such as distributing stolen information (like Social Security numbers) to be used for phishing, scams, or identity theft.

What information can be sold on the dark web?

Cybercriminals can sell a wide range of information on the dark web, including contact details (phone numbers and emails), home addresses, Social Security numbers (SSNs), medical records, credit card numbers, driver’s license numbers, and even online banking credentials.

How can you monitor the dark web?

The best way to monitor the dark web is to use a reliable service that includes dark web monitoring (like NordProtect). Such services do all the work for you without you having to enter the dark web yourself — and help keep your information and accounts secure.

How do I choose the best dark web monitoring service?

Choosing the best dark web monitoring service isn’t always easy. With many providers available, it’s important to research your options before committing to one of them. The best solutions will come from reputable companies and offer comprehensive cybersecurity protection.

For example, NordProtect also offers credit monitoring, real-time security alerts, identity theft recovery, and cyber extortion protection. Even though it is a relatively new product, NordProtect is brought to you by Nord Security, a leading cybersecurity company with years of expertise in online security solutions.

Are there free dark web monitoring tools?

Yes, you may be able to find free dark web monitoring tools, but we wouldn’t recommend using them. No service is really free because every company needs to make money somehow. If a provider offers “free dark web monitoring,” you should ask yourself what you’re giving up in return. It may be that the service is only free for a short while, or much worse — the company may be selling your data to third parties. On top of that, free dark web monitoring tools typically don’t run extensive scans and don’t offer 24/7 alerts.

Is dark web monitoring worth it?

Yes, using dark web monitoring is absolutely worth it. Once you add your details, it becomes an automated process that works in the background without any effort on your part. If any of your details are detected, you receive an alert and can take immediate action to secure your accounts. It’s an efficient and reliable way to keep an eye on your credential security.

Is dark web monitoring safe?

Yes, dark web monitoring is safe — if you choose a reliable provider to do the job for you. A trustworthy service will check the dark web for your information without putting you, your information, or your accounts at risk. Most importantly, you won’t have to venture out into the dark web yourself! For a safe and reliable way to monitor the dark web, leave it to a service you can trust.

What do I do if my data is found on the dark web?

If NordProtect’s dark web monitoring detects your data on the dark web, you’ll get an alert with actionable steps you should take. These steps may include updating your passwords on associated accounts, setting up multi-factor authentication, or checking for unusual account activity. Follow the recommended steps closely to protect your information and secure your accounts.
