–Your Norton Team
I don't know how Norton knows what to scan on the dark web, they don't say. Just scan it, dummy! You don't need to know our methods. I bet if I did scan it, they'd be putting my email address out on the dark web. What prevents them from doing that? Who would know?
I'm really skeptical. I guess Tor is only good if you know where to look. Criminals know where but does Norton? I kind of doubt it.
