  • Google LLC has discontinued its Dark Web Report feature that scanned for information tied to user accounts in breaches.
  • The service stopped scanning on January 15, 2026, and was fully removed by February 16, 2026.
  • Users must rely on Security Checkup and Password Checkup, which do not monitor dark web breaches.
  • Experts advise dedicated identity protection services for ongoing monitoring, since stolen data can be trafficked and reused.
