How exactly do the credit fraud alert systems "scan the darkweb" for a customer's matching SSN?

I don't understand how this works, and if it's safe.

If they keep a group of SSN to use it to scan dangerous sites for a match, wouldn't that risk backfiring and being more compromised?

"nvfbc plugin window" preventing Windows 10 shutdown.

So yeah, the title says it all.. When i try to shut down or restart my PC, I get a screen saying a program is preventing shut down. But I don't know what to do to fix it. I found a script on a steam forum about how to disable or enable NVFBC but that doesn't have any effect. Any ideas? Submitted January 19, 2018 at 12:40AM by Wickedld http://ift.tt/2DsOvwR

Nvidia Control Panel says there's a repeater connected to my system, might be to blame for my HDCP issue with Netflix.

I was trying to watch Netflix on the Windows 10 app and it was giving me the same error code for anything that's Ultra HD. I contacted Netflix Support and in summary, they said my monitor appears to only support normal HDCP. I'm pretty sure it supports HDCP 2.2, though. My monitor is a Dell U2515H. So I looked around in Nvidia Control Panel. I found out that underneath the message where it says my display and graphics card is HDCP capable, it says a repeater is connected to my system. There isn't, though. Doing a few Google searches, I read about disabling DP 1.2 has fixed the issue for Dell monitors and tried that. Didn't work. Also read about Nvidia drivers, so I updated mine. Also didn't work. I'm at a loss on what to do. TL;DR Can't stream Netflix in Ultra HD because of HDCP, Nvidia Control Panel says there's a repeater connected to my system.
