Google’s killing off its dark web report because users didn’t know what to

[phillynews215]

TL;DR

• Google has let you scan the dark web for personal information revealed in breaches.
• That service is going away in early 2026.
• Google stops scanning for new data on January 15, and deletes all old report data on February 16.

When security experts warn you to not reuse the same passwords over and over, and to frequently change the ones you are using, they’re not just considering some theoretical risk. Data breaches frequently expose our private information to hackers, and all too often that info gets passed around on the dark web, ready to be exploited. A couple years back, Google introduced dark web reports to let us know what personal details might be floating around out there — and now they’re about to go away.
