CyberAgent® Dark Web Monitoring

by Brian Funicelli 2 min read October 6, 2022

When it comes to online personal data, the majority of Americans believe it has become more and more difficult to control who has access to that information.[1]And as international data breaches continue to feed the dark web, the cost is high for consumers.

Identity theft by the numbers

At least 16 billion records have been exposed through data breaches since 2019, and 31% of data breach victims later have their identity stolen[2]. The cost of obtaining a full range of documents and account details allowing identity theft is about $1,275.[3]

With a 290% increase in stolen data found on the dark web in the past three years, monitoring is a must-have for data-driven service providers[4]. Now more than ever, consumers expect businesses that collect their information to keep it secure.
