Google One rolls out Dark Web Report feature. How is it useful to Indian users?

American tech giant Google is rolling out the Dark Web Report feature to its Google One subscribers in India. The Google Dark Web Report feature will send alerts to users in case their personal information is detected on the dark web, granting them the opportunity to respond appropriately and enhance their vigilance in order to safeguard themselves against such fraudulent activities. When users activate the dark web report option, they create a monitoring profile where they input and choose the information they want to keep track of. Regular Google users can perform a single dark web check for a specific email address but will not receive ongoing monitoring or new search notifications.
