Google will soon let everyone know if their information is on the dark web ( www.androidcentral.com )

  • Google is discontinuing the Google One VPN service later this year, as it announced in April 2024.
  • Some features will be deprecated completely, but the dark web reports feature is staying as a free feature for all Google users.
  • Making the functionality free for everyone could help people become more aware of their online safety.

”Dark web report will become available to all users with a consumer Google Account,” the company explains, as reported by 9to5Google. “Dark web report is integrated with Results about you as a combined solution to help users protect their online presence.”

By dark web they mean leaked from companies. The data wouldn't be on the dark web if it wasn't for companies like google to begin with.
