Understand why dark web report is discontinued

While the report offered general information, feedback showed that it didn't provide helpful next steps. We're making this change to instead focus on tools that give you more clear, actionable steps to protect your information online. We'll continue to track and defend you from online threats, including the dark web, and build tools that help protect you and your personal information.

We encourage you to use the existing tools we offer to strengthen your security and privacy, including:

• Security Checkup
• Create a Passkey to Log Into Your Google Account
• Authentication Tools for secure Sign-In Google Safety Center
• Google Password Manager
• Password Checkup

We encourage you to also use Results about you. This tool helps you find and request the removal of your personal information from Google Search results, like your phone number and home address. Learn more about tips to help you stay safe online.
