Thoughts on Dark Web Monitoring Services

The podcast discusses the value and effectiveness of dark web monitoring services. While these services can help alongside data removal services, it is difficult to assess their effectiveness. It's unclear whether to go with mainstream services or more expensive IT departments. The speaker expresses skepticism about their ability to discover new services and get data removed, as many dark web hosts may not comply with takedown requests. They question the overall value and suggest focusing on data security practices like aliasing and freezing credit.
