Proton Introduces Dark Web Monitoring for Paid Users

The new security feature alerts users of potential data breaches and compromised credentials linked to their Proton Mail accounts.

Proton's Dark Web Monitoring service scans for data breaches involving Proton email addresses and provides detailed alerts.
The feature is available exclusively to paid subscribers, enhancing their ability to secure their digital identities.
Data breaches in the U.S. have significantly increased, with Proton aiming to provide timely alerts to minimize identity theft and financial losses.
Users are advised to change passwords, enable multi-factor authentication, and monitor financial accounts for unauthorized transactions upon receiving alerts.
Proton's commitment to privacy is underscored by its use of proprietary threat intelligence and no sharing of user data with third parties.
