What Lives on the Dark Web?
The dark web hosts markets where stolen credentials, corporate data, ransomware kits, and zero-day exploits are bought and sold. Early detection of your organisation’s data on these platforms enables proactive response.
What to Monitor
- Corporate email addresses and password hashes
- Executive personal information (doxxing risk)
- Proprietary source code repositories
- Customer PII datasets
- Mention of your organisation in threat actor forums
Response Actions
When credentials are found: force password resets, enable MFA immediately, review access logs for the compromised accounts, and notify affected users.
