TransUnion Dark Web Monitoring Service
Monitors the dark web and suspicious trading platforms around the clock. If your personal information (such as your name, HKID/passport number, credit card or bank account details) is exposed or being sold, you will receive an instant alert, along with professional remediation advice to help you take control early and respond swiftly.
What is dark web?
The dark web is different from the internet we use every day. It cannot be accessed through standard search engines and requires specific methods to enter. Due to its hidden nature, certain platforms may be misused for illicit activities, including the trading of personal data.
Your personal information — such as your address, ID number, credit card details, passport number, and even gaming accounts — could be stolen and traded on the dark web. Because cybercriminal activities are often anonymous and difficult to trace, proactively and comprehensively protecting your personal data is a crucial step in managing risk.
Safeguard Your Personal Information
The TransUnion Dark Web Monitoring service are here to help you to take charge and to safeguard your identity. It carefully scans the dark web in real-time and looks back in time (retrospectively) to find any data breaches. If it spots anything concerning, it will alert you immediately. Also, it goes a step further by giving you expert advice on what to do next to minimise potential financial loss and safeguard your personal and financial security.
