Cloaked is an extremely powerful tool in protecting your information in a myriad of ways.

In order to understand how data breaches and the dark web pose a risk to you, it's important to understand the nature of the dark web and how Cloaked's services can help protect your identity, even in this complex landscape.

Understanding the Dark Web

The dark web is not a single place or a public forum where data can simply be located and removed. Instead, it’s a collection of hidden networks and sites scattered across an unknown number of computers, often accessed via specific software. This makes it nearly impossible to directly remove data from the dark web itself.

However, this doesn’t mean your efforts to protect your personal data are in vain. In fact, Cloaked’s data removal services are an essential part of safeguarding your identity.

Why Removing Data from Public Brokers Is Critical

If your information has appeared on the dark web, public data brokers still pose a significant risk. These brokers collect and sell personal information, making it easy for malicious actors to verify, cross-reference, and connect the dots on the details they find on the dark web. By removing your information from public data brokers, you reduce the chances of your data being easily verified or triangulated, making you a more challenging target for identity theft.

Identity Protection: It's About Complexity

Identity protection isn’t necessarily about becoming invisible; it’s about becoming a harder target than most. The vast majority of people do little to protect their personal information, making them easy targets. By leveraging DeleteMe’s services, you increase the complexity for anyone attempting to misuse your data. In many ways, being a more complex target is one of the most effective strategies for protecting your identity.
