The dark web is a hidden layer of the internet that is not accessible or indexed by search engines, and requires specific software for access. This area is popular with criminals because they can remain anonymous and untraceable as they communicate. The dark web is a huge marketplace where hackers and thieves exchange information, goods and services; information exposed from data breaches, hacking incidents, or leaked information can be bought and sold on the dark web as &#8220;lists&#8221; by identity thieves. Information traded on the dark web may be old or could even re-appear several months, or years following exposure of your personal information.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gnDyrHt4Jfk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dark Web Monitoring<\/strong> shines a light on the dark web, notifying you if your information is found.
