When people hear “dark web,” they think of hackers, hitmen, and illegal marketplaces. And while some of that is true, the most common danger on the dark web is your personal data being traded, sold, or leaked without your knowledge. This includes passwords, email addresses, login credentials, and even private messages — all stolen in data breaches you may never have heard of.
You don’t need to be a celebrity to be a target. Your info could have been exposed through a hacked site you signed up for years ago — think fitness apps, airline rewards, or old job portals. Once your data is out there, it’s often bundled and sold on dark web forums or searchable breach databases.
The scary part? You’ll never know unless you’re actively looking. Most people only find out when they become victims of fraud, identity theft, or targeted phishing scams. The dark web isn’t indexed like Google — it takes specialized tools and experience to navigate it safely and legally.
IRONSWEEP scans breach databases and dark web repositories to check if your data is out there. If we find exposure, we give you a clear report — including what was leaked and how to reduce the damage. Being proactive is the only way to stay one step ahead of the people who profit from your personal info.
