Is this it, tali?

cost £2.99 per month
ClearScore is also launching a paid version of the service, ClearScore Protect Realtime costs £2.99 per month and can monitor three separate email addresses on a daily basis.
I'd like to know what's meant by 'dark web monitoring'. The only way to access the dark web is through the Tor browser (or possibly through another browser with a Tor extension added to it). If you don't use Tor, you don't need 'dark web monitoring' because you're not going anywhere near to the dark web!

Even if you do use Tor, to access '.onion' sites, I can't see how any security software can specifically 'monitor' it. Any standard anti-virus software will work just as well with dark web access as it will with normal 'clearnet' sites..
"How does ClearScore Protect dark web monitoring work?

We have teamed up with a team of cyber security experts who trawl the dark web secretly, undercover if you like, to download as much stolen information as possible.

They have been investigating the use of the internet by criminals for over 20 years. They monitor thousands of criminal forums, websites and chatrooms to search for stolen data, and save it into a secure database.

They are collecting more and more information every day - currently their secure database has over 41 billion data points in it.

At ClearScore we then search this database, securely and privately, and without ever revealing your information, to see whether your email address is associated with any information found on the dark web. We then tell you if we’ve found anything, and suggest what you should do about it. We can’t remove the information from the dark web, but we can make you aware so that you can change emails or passwords to keep yourself safe."

Thanks, TCL.

So, basically, it does much the same as this free service does:
