PROACTIVE MONITORING AND EVERYDAY RECOVERY TOOLS
Dark Web Monitoring
Dark Web Monitoring helps detect when sensitive information may be exposed, shared, or sold online.
To activate monitoring, you must create a FraudArmor account. You will be able to select the items you want to monitor, and then you will receive alerts if there is a compromise. There is no cost for activating this service.
You are encouraged to add as many relevant items as possible to increase early detection, including:
- Bank account identifiers
- Credit and debit card numbers
- Personal identity information
- Consumer login credentials
- Business-related credentials
- IP addresses and other digital identifiers
If monitored information is detected in known dark web sources, you’ll receive an alert so you can take action early, such as changing passwords, closing accounts and being vigilant to certain type of activity, possibly before fraud occurs. Visit fraud-armorlogin.com to create your account and begin monitoring your identity on the Dark Web today. NOTE: When Dark Web Monitoring is first activated, some alerts may reflect activity from previous years. After the initial activation, you’ll only receive alerts for new activity.
