Oh No! Your Dark Web Scan Results Made You :( Our Advice on Securing Your Passwords

The dark web – the place where cyber-criminals conduct their business anonymously. Some parts of the dark web hold the results of the data breaches of many of the websites that you used or even still use today. This data can be names, date of births, addresses, booking information, and worst of all (but not unlikely) credit card information and passwords.
