 As the Dark Web gathers steam, the team at Technilious put together this courtesy Google for all to consider:  Find out what information about you is available on the dark web. It's not a question of whether your information is available on the Dark Web but simply how much. I use Google's Dark Web monitoring, and the last count showed 66 breaches containing my personal details. While I have been paying for this monitoring as part of my Google One subscription, Google is soon going to be making its Dark Web monitoring service free. All you need is a Google Account to take advantage of the free monitoring. With the new tool, Google can alert you when your email addresses, phone numbers, or home addresses surface on the Dark Web. The free monitoring tool will be rolling out as part of Google's "Results About You" tool. Learn more about how to get Google's new free Dark Web monitoring and protect your personal information in our story. Suzanne Kantra Founder, Tec
