Your Window Into the Criminal Underground
We monitor the dark web, hacker forums, and underground marketplaces around the clock — detecting stolen credentials, leaked data, and threat actor campaigns targeting your organization before attackers can act.
credentials currently circulating on the dark web — stolen through data breaches, phishing attacks, and malware infections. Organizations with leaked credentials are 2.5x more likely to suffer a breach.
SOCRadar Annual Dark Web Report 2025
We had no idea our credentials were for sale.
That is the most common reaction when organizations see their dark web exposure for the first time. Stolen credentials, leaked customer data, and internal documents circulate on criminal marketplaces for weeks or months before a breach occurs. By the time you discover the attack, the damage is already done.
What We Monitor
Comprehensive threat intelligence across the sources that matter most.
Dark Web Monitoring
Continuous scanning of underground marketplaces, hacker forums, paste sites, and 4,659+ Telegram channels where stolen data is bought, sold, and traded. We monitor 40+ stealer log marketplaces and index over 15 billion breach records to detect your exposed credentials, leaked documents, and sensitive data the moment they appear.
Threat Actor Tracking
We monitor threat actors and ransomware groups targeting your specific industry and geography. You receive profiling intelligence including tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), campaign tracking, and early indicators of attack planning — giving you a 14-to-30-day advance warning window before ransomware strikes.
Data Breach Detection
Immediate alerts when your organization's sensitive data appears in unexpected places — dark web forums, criminal marketplaces, paste sites, or breach databases. We detect stolen employee credentials, compromised customer data, leaked internal documents, and session cookies that allow attackers to bypass multi-factor authentication.

Frequently Asked Questions
We deploy specialized monitoring technology that continuously scans underground marketplaces, hacker forums, Telegram channels, paste sites, and breach databases. You never need to access the dark web directly. Our platform indexes over 15 billion breach records and monitors 4,659+ Telegram channels and 231+ forums in real time. When your organization's data appears — credentials, documents, customer records — you receive an alert with full context: what was found, where it was found, the severity level, and specific remediation steps.
Alerts are generated within hours of detection. For critical findings — such as active credential sales, session cookie exposure, or ransomware group targeting — alerts are prioritized and escalated immediately. Our threat intelligence also provides a 14-to-30-day advance detection window for ransomware campaigns, giving you time to prepare defenses before an attack materializes.
Yes. VIP and executive monitoring tracks high-value individuals for credential exposure, personal data leaks, social media impersonation, and targeted threat actor activity. This is particularly important for C-suite executives, board members, and anyone with privileged access to sensitive systems or financial accounts.
Our platform monitors forums and marketplaces in multiple languages including Russian, Chinese, Arabic, Portuguese, Turkish, and English. Many of the most active cybercriminal communities operate primarily in Russian and Chinese — our multi-language capability ensures you have visibility into these high-threat environments.
Endpoint detection and response (EDR) monitors what happens inside your network. Dark web monitoring watches what is being sold about you outside your network. They are complementary, not redundant. Your EDR cannot tell you that an employee's credentials were stolen by malware on their personal laptop and are now available for purchase on criminal marketplaces — along with session cookies that let attackers bypass your MFA entirely.
Our platform correlates findings against your actual domain, employees, and assets using 43+ million whitelist policies to filter false positives. High-severity alerts receive analyst review before delivery. We tune the monitoring during the first 30 days of onboarding to ensure you receive only actionable intelligence, not noise.
