I've received a message that some personal data (not specified) has been found on the dark web. I also received a pop up on my iphone 15 pro that one of my passwords was compromised (also not specified) I'm interested in a web scrubber and other comprehensive internet privacy protection. Suggestions?

You lose your privacy every time you enter your email address or phone number on a web site. It is expected by now that with all the data breaches, it is more than likely that at least one of your passwords has been exposed. Go to the Passwords settings on either one of your devices and it will give the details on which passwords may have been exposed. You should frequently change your passwords as there is no web scrubber that will remove all your data from the web.
