ID Notify

I just received an email from ID Notify saying that my email address has been found on the dark web. Is this for real or just spam/phishing email? It includes logos for IdD Notify, Intuit, Turbo Tax and Experian

 

Thanks!

I would assume it is spam. Does it ask you to do anything?

Email subject:

 

Important: your Email Address was found on the Dark Web

 

And they have a url link to "click here" for more info on how to protect yourself and a link to "FAQ" as well as a video.

The links and even video link sees legitimate, but the initial email seems suspicious. Please advise.
