Darknet Intelligence
We search the dark web for stolen data (such as access credentials or internal information) that could affect your company.
A popular gateway for ransomware attacks is data available on the dark web. These can contain company internals or, for example, access/credential data. You should know about this as soon as possible!
Damian Strobel
Founder and CEO
"Since 2023, it has become increasingly common for criminals to simply buy access data on the darknet and exploit it."
What is Darknet Intelligence?
Darknet Intelligence (DARKINT) is basically the search for documents and data that belong to a company. These searches primarily take place on the so-called Darknet - this includes, for example, various hacker forums and Telegram channels. We search these sources for your data.
Our practice shows time and time again that customers who are technically at a very high level and regularly check their systems using penetration tests or red teaming completely ignore the topic of OSINT. This means that it is relatively easy to find, for example, valid employee access data on the Darknet. This means attackers can steal sensitive information relatively easily and unnoticed or even infect the entire network with ransomware. In addition to the classic "leaked" access data, the findings can help, for example, to protect your own brand more effectively and to detect upcoming phishing campaigns more quickly.
Darknet Intelligence paired with Red Teaming and Penetration Testing can help you to minimize the risk of getting hacked.
