Using a dark web scanner to check if your email or password is on the dark web is a proactive step towards protecting your personal information from being sold or used for malicious purposes. By scanning the dark web, you can identify whether your email or password has been compromised and take necessary measures to change your login credentials or enable two-factor authentication. This can help prevent unauthorized access to your accounts and reduce the risk of identity theft or other cybercrimes. Overall, using a dark web scanner can provide peace of mind and help you take control of your online security.
To open the Dark Web Scanner, tap the "Dark Web" icon 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 bobcat@hotmail.com.
