How to safeguard your personal information on Dark Web

The world is becoming increasingly reliant on technology, with many people using the internet for various purposes.

However, this widespread internet use comes with risks. People often share their personal details while logging into websites or making online purchases.

This information, including bank card details, names, phone numbers, and email addresses, is stored on the Internet.

Unfortunately, hackers exploit this vulnerability by selling such data on the dark web for small amounts of money.

The dark web is a dangerous place, and once hackers sell the information, it becomes accessible to anyone with malicious intent.

This poses a serious threat as hackers can manipulate users using the stolen data.

How To Get It Back?

For the average internet user, accessing the dark web is challenging.

So, how can you protect yourself and retrieve your secret information without venturing into the dark web?

Google offers a solution through its platform called 'Google One.' To use this service, log in to your Gmail account on your browser and visit one.google.com.

Go to the 'Dark Web Report,' click on the setup button, and create your profile.

Run the scan, and Google will monitor the entire dark web for your personal information, such as name, address, email, phone number, username, and password.

If any leaks are detected, Google suggests implementing two-step authentication for added security.

This extra layer of protection is available for free one-time. For more, you need to purchase the Google One cloud storage.

This service is currently available in select countries, including India. Thanks to Google, users can now take control of their cyber presence in the dark net.
