What is dark web monitoring?
Dark web monitoring is the practice of continuously scanning dark web sites (hacker forums, darknet markets, etc.) for information associated with your email address, national ID, Social Security number, or credit card information. Dark web monitoring plays an important role in cybersecurity by warning users so that they can secure vulnerable accounts in time. NordVPN offers dark web monitoring functionality through its aptly named Dark Web Monitor feature.

How a data leak could affect your life
Many things can happen that result in data from breaches being leaked online.
Phishing
Leaked details give criminals just enough data to send convincing emails, often pretending to be your bank or a trusted store.
Credential stuffing
If you ever reuse passwords, hackers may use credentials from a single leak to unlock your email, social media, or even banking accounts within minutes.
Account takeover
Hackers could use your leaked passwords to break into your accounts, access your data, and act as you. Getting back in can be a long process.
Identity theft
Stolen personal details, such as your Social Security number, let criminals open loans, file fraudulent tax returns, and get services in your name.
