Google enlists Gmail users to spot dark web scams

Google is expanding its dark web monitoring service to all Gmail users in the US, following its initial launch for Google One subscribers. The tool scans the dark web for a user’s name, address, email address, phone number, and Social Security number, and notifies users if their information has been found. Users can then follow Google’s steps to secure their accounts, such as applying two-factor authentication and using strong passwords or passkeys.
