Historical release note (March 2023): At the first WordPress Day at CloudFest in Rust, Germany, Panomity announced the WordPress plugin DarkWeb Press. The wording below describes that announcement and the product concept at the time; availability, features and legal assessments may have changed.
Panomity GmbH announced DarkWeb Press as a WordPress plugin that would let site owners offer their users a free check for exposed account data and, through Panomity’s referral programme, optionally direct users to paid reports. The announcement was made in Rust during CloudFest 2023.
Panomity’s release statement described the plugin as a GDPR-oriented way to connect a WordPress site with the Panomity DarkWeb API. That description was a product claim, not a certification or legal opinion. A site operator still has to define a lawful purpose, a retention period and the information shown to users with their own privacy adviser.
DarkWeb Press used Panomity account authentication and three shortcodes for checks that could be embedded in WordPress pages. A bulk-check page was intended to help an operator notify registered users when an address appeared in a breach dataset. The announcement also mentioned planned Gutenberg blocks; this article does not treat that future statement as proof that the blocks shipped.
The proposed referral model separated a free first check from optional premium reports or recurring scans. Any operator considering that model should disclose the commercial relationship, avoid exposing breach data to unauthorised people and use a current data-processing agreement with the service provider.
Panomity DarkWeb Press was announced as a free WordPress plugin. The historical product page remains available at panomity.com/panomity-darkweb-press; check that page and the repository for current status before installing anything.
