Utilizing a dark web scanner to verify if your email or password appears on the dark web is a proactive approach to safeguarding your personal information from potential sale or malicious use. Scanning the dark web allows you to determine if your email or password has been compromised, enabling you to take necessary actions like updating your login credentials or enabling two-factor authentication. This helps prevent unauthorized access to your accounts and reduces the risk of identity theft or other cybercrimes. Overall, employing a dark web scanner offers peace of mind and empowers you to enhance your online security.
To access the Dark Web Scanner, simply tap the "Dark Web" icon located on the main screen.
Now select if you are searching for your email or a password for possible exposure, and enter it into the empty box and tap "Scan" to begin.
When the scan is complete, you will see where your data has been exposed in various data breaches. Tapping on any of the breaches will bring up details. The example below shows the results of searching the test email bobkitten@hotmail.com.
