What is the Dark Web?
When large companies become victim of a cybercrime, your personal identifiable information such as name, address, and social security number become available in underground marketplaces on the on the Internet. And it’s available for cybercriminals to do as they please – such as open back accounts in your name or even assume your identity.
The Dark Web, also commonly known as the deep web, refers to a small segment of the Internet that is inaccessible via regular search engines or web browsers. Because of the dark web’s anonymity and secrecy, it’s become a popular venue for illegal marketplaces. Think of them as eBay or Amazon for illicit items such as stolen credit cards, drugs, unlicensed firearms, and individuals’ personal information.
Dark web monitoring services scour the deep web to find out if your email address and password is among the list of compromised credentials.

Billions of pieces of personal information have been stolen throughout the years the Internet has been in existence. You may occasionally hear in the news that some financial institution or large retailer has been hacked.
