Dark Web Exposure and Data Leak Monitoring
highWhat is Dark Web Exposure?
Sensitive data related to your organisation — credentials, internal documents, database dumps, source code, and API keys — may be traded or posted on dark web forums, paste sites, and underground marketplaces.
How it works
After a breach, stolen data is typically sold or shared on dark web marketplaces, Telegram channels, and paste sites. Data types include employee credentials, customer databases, internal documentation, proprietary source code, and infrastructure details. This information fuels follow-on attacks including credential stuffing, social engineering, and targeted exploitation.
Impact
Credential-based attacks using leaked passwords, social engineering using leaked internal information, competitive disadvantage from source code exposure, regulatory penalties from customer data leaks, and reputational damage.
ShieldReport monitors dark web sources, paste sites, and breach databases for data associated with your domain. Alerts include the specific data type exposed, the source, and recommended response actions.
How to fix it
Rotate all potentially exposed credentials immediately. Notify affected users per regulatory requirements. Engage incident response to determine breach scope. Implement monitoring for ongoing exposure. Strengthen controls that allowed the initial data leak.
