Tell HN: Some financial institutions report on “dark web” client ID appearance
Of all the financial institutions I have been dealing with, there is only one, so far, but interesting, nonetheless, with their ongoing monitoring of "dark web" (their definition of such being "The dark web is a network of unsafe websites where people can trade and sell your data anonymously.") and reporting on any activity associated with my identity. The process of reporting started sometimes in Sept of 2021, with maybe a report every couple of weeks, but the reports of activity detected increased 100+ times since Feb 23rd, 2022 (for obvious reasons).
