Dark Web Monitoring

Applicable for: Android;Mac;Windows;iOS

Dark Web Monitoring is a service that scans for your personal information on hard-to-find dark websites and forums. It is important because identity thieves can buy or sell your personal information to commit illicit activities.

When we detect your information on the dark web, we notify you to take the necessary actions. To review the alert or notification you received, go to your account dashboard or mobile app. To verify if the alert that you received is from Norton, refer to the following article: Verify that an email you receive from Norton is legitimate.

You may receive alerts that are either Attributed, which means the site of the breach is known, or Unattributed, meaning that the exposed data belongs to a site that no longer exists or is unknown or is not mapped to any site.

If you received an alert, refer to the relevant article below based on your region:
