Google to Provide Dark Web Reporting to All Consumer Accounts

  • Google has announced it will provide dark web reporting to all consumer Google accounts, expanding a service that originally was reserved for Google One subscribers.

    Google announced in April that it was killing off its Google One VPN service, but at least one of its best features will live, and serve more customers than it originally did.

    The company announced the change in a support article:

    Dark web report will become available to all users with a consumer Google Account. Dark web report is integrated with Results about you as a combined solution to help users protect their online presence.

    Results about you is a feature that helps you find out if your personal contact info, like your home address, phone number, or email address shows up in search results.

    The company specified what users can expect from the service:

    What’s the difference?

    • Both dark web report and Results about you are features that help you understand and protect your online presence.
    • Dark web report is a feature that helps you monitor if your personal information, such as your name, address, phone number, and email, is found among data breaches discovered on the dark web.
    • Results about you is a feature that enables you to find and remove results that contain your personal contact info from search results.

    Eligibility

    • Dark web report is available to users signed into their consumer Google Accounts.
    • Dark web report is available across 46 countries.
