What is Dark Web Monitoring?
Dark Web Monitoring — Dark web monitoring is the practice of scanning dark web marketplaces, forums, paste sites, and Telegram channels for leaked credentials, data dumps, and threat actor chatter that may impact an organisation.
Dark Web Monitoring Explained in Detail
The dark web operates on overlay networks like Tor and I2P, hosting marketplaces where stolen data, malware kits, and RaaS (Ransomware-as-a-Service) offerings are traded.
Automated dark web monitoring tools crawl these hidden services, index relevant data, and match findings against an organisation's assets — domains, email addresses, API keys, or executive PII.
Why It Matters
- Stolen credentials appear on the dark web an average of 11 days before being used in an attack.
- Early detection enables password resets and security policy tightening before breaches occur.
