Digital risk protection · Dark web monitoring
Early warning from the underground
Most of what is sold about your organisation in criminal communities cannot be taken down: there is no registrar for a Telegram message. What can be done is to find it early, establish whether it is real and current, and tell you precisely what to change before it is used. That is what Dark Web Watcher is for.
Account takeover monitoring
- Leaked corporate email addresses and credentials for your domains.
- Executives’ personal email addresses, where you choose to have them monitored.
- Customer credentials for your customer portal.
- Personal data leaks and breaches affecting your organisation.
Compromised credentials are searched for around the clock, and you are notified within 30 minutes of detection. The alert names the affected account and where it surfaced, so your identity team can force a reset and review active sessions before the credential is used.
Most credentials in a dump are years old and already dead. Sorting the live ones from the stale ones is the work, and it is done before the alert reaches you.
Fraud campaign discovery
- Fraud schemes aimed at your organisation or your customers, planned and traded in criminal communities.
- Stolen customer data and payment cards linked to you. If you issue cards, the BIN ranges you give us at onboarding are what card monitoring searches for.
- Software built to attack you, such as phishing kits or tools made for a fraud campaign against your customers.
The watch covers more than 3,000 criminal chat groups on Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord and ICQ, in more than 12 languages, along with dark web forums and markets reached through managed analyst identities. Payment card findings are reported within 24 hours.
Data leakage detection
- Confidential documents and data leaked online, found from your company assets and identifiers.
- Sensitive information exposed by accident: files on a misconfigured server, code in a public repository, an internal document indexed by a search engine.
Data leakage findings are reported within 24 hours of detection.
How it is found
| Method | What it does |
|---|---|
| Analyst identities | Managed avatars with the history to be admitted to closed forums, markets and chat groups. |
| Instant-messaging scraping | Thousands of groups harvested and searched continuously. |
| Threat actor engagement | Analysts interact with sellers before, during and after an incident to confirm what is on offer. On your behalf only when you ask, for a specific case. |
| Exposed victim logs | Phishing kits often store stolen credentials on the phishing server itself. When a site is investigated, those logs are recovered and shared, so you learn which accounts were already compromised. |
What stays with you
The resets and the lockouts. Forcing a password change, revoking sessions, blocking a card or closing an exposed server are changes inside your own systems or your identity provider, and they stay with your team. What you get from us is the finding, the context, and someone to ask what the source was, how old the data is, and whether it is part of something larger.
Where this stops
Data on closed criminal forums and chat groups cannot be taken down. The value there is in time: knowing before the credential is used or the card is spent. Data exposed on a public site or a misconfigured server is different, and can often be removed by whoever runs it.
Not every closed group is visible. Thousands are watched; no one sees all of them.
Analysts work business hours. Searching and alerting run around the clock; the analyst’s assessment of a finding comes during business hours, or at the weekend if it is urgent.
Frequently asked questions

Something not covered here? Ask us directly
You get the alert within 30 minutes of detection, with the account and the source. Then a baseline of what is already exposed and what is needed to close those accounts, and continuous monitoring with alerts as new exposures appear. The resets stay with you, because they are changes in your own systems.
Yes. Account takeover monitoring, fraud campaign discovery and data leakage detection can be taken together or separately, and the price follows the scope.
Yes, for your customer portal. Customer credentials offered or used by threat actors are part of account takeover monitoring, and the findings help you protect customer accounts before fraud happens.
