Netgear launches dark web monitoring for Armor plan subscribers
Netgear has announced a new dark web monitoring service available to customers on its Armor and Armor Plus router plans.
Service availability details
The company states the feature is accessible through the Netgear app for eligible subscribers. This tool notifies users when their stolen information appears in another database.
Dark web market context
Experts note that over 15 billion personal records are currently available for purchase on these networks. Hackers typically sell data stolen from large organizations and governments to buyers there.
Notification timing issues
Legal rules require companies to inform owners of stolen data, but this often does not happen immediately. Many businesses only discover a breach after the information hits the dark web market.
