Gizmodo: “The Mountain View company will integrate Dark Web monitoring with Google’s Results About You page sometime toward the end of the month. That feature notifies users if their personal information, their name, address, or phone number, appears in search results. Google has previously stated its goal to scrub personal information from results, though it can’t actively remove your information from those third-party web pages. Anybody with a Google Account will have access to both Results about you and Dark web monitoring features, whether they’re paying customers or not. Previously, non-paying account holders could perform a one-off dark web sweep of just their email address. The new integration will allow users to monitor for other pertinent information and receive regular updates when Google finds dark websites harboring your personal data. That’s not to say that dark web monitoring will be able to do much once any of your personal information is found to have been stolen via data breaches. It will notify users if it finds their name, address, social security number, or password. Still, it can’t delete that information. It’s up to the individual user to go ahead and change their passwords or freeze their credit once they discover an issue.”
