Dark Web Domain Monitoring 

ShowTech Solutions has a monthly service where we have the ability to report if any of your business email accounts are being sold on the Dark Web. This is important to help combat someone from logging into your accounts and doing damage to your company's reputation. The Dark Web is a hidden universe contained within the “Deep Web”- a sublayer of the Internet that is hidden from conventional search engines. Search engines like Google, BING, and Yahoo only search .04% of the indexed or “surface” Internet. The other 99.96% of the Web consists of databases, private academic and government networks, and the Dark Web. The Dark Web is estimated at 550 times larger than the surface Web and growing. Because you can operate anonymously, the Dark Web holds a wealth of stolen data and illegal activity. Example

Our Dark Web Scanning service is designed to help mitigate cyber threats that leverage stolen email addresses and passwords. We leverage a combination of human and artificial intelligence that scours botnets, criminal chat rooms, blogs, Websites and bulletin boards, Peer to Peer networks, forums, private networks, and other black-market sites 24/7, 365 days a year to identify stolen credentials and other personally identifiable information.

Our system detects compromised credentials in real-time on the Dark Web and notifies you immediately when these critical assets are compromised before they can be used for identity theft, data breaches, or other crime. Digital credentials such as usernames and passwords connect you and your employees to critical business applications, as well as online services. Unfortunately, criminals know this - and that's why digital credentials are among the most valuable assets found on the Dark Web. You can also check out the printable flyer here!

To help keep your critical business assets safe from the compromises that lead to breach and theft, we are offering a complimentary, one-time scan with Dark Web ID(tm) Credential Monitoring.

We Monitor:

  • Hidden chat rooms
  • Private websites
  • Peer-to-peer networks IRC (internet relay chat) channels
  • Social media platforms
  • Black market sites
  • 640,000 + botnets

Far too often, companies that have had their credentials compromised and sold on the Dark Web don't know it until they have been informed by law enforcement - but by then, it's too late. According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), small and medium-sized businesses may have more to lose than larger organizations, because cybersecurity events can be costly and threaten their survival.

 


ShowTech Dark Web FAQ's

What is the dark web?
The Dark Web is a hidden universe contained within the “Deep Web”- a sublayer of the Internet that is hidden from conventional search engines. Search engines like Google, BING, and Yahoo only search .04% of the indexed or “surface” Internet. The other 99.96% of the Web consists of databases, private academic and government networks, and the Dark Web. The Dark Web is estimated at 550 times larger than the surface Web and growing. Because you can operate anonymously, the Dark Web holds a wealth of stolen data and illegal activity.

How does this service help protect my organization? 
Our service is designed to help both public and private sector organizations detect and mitigate cyber threats that leverage stolen email addresses and passwords. Dark Web ID leverages a combination of human and artificial intelligence that scours botnets, criminal chat rooms, blogs, Websites and bulletin boards, Peer to Peer networks, forums, private networks, and other black-market sites 24/7, 365 days a year to identify stolen credentials and other personally identifiable information (PII).

How are the stolen or exposed credentials found on the Dark Web?
Dark Web ID focuses on cyber threats that are specific to our clients’ environments. We monitor the Dark Web and the criminal hacker underground for exposure of our clients’ credentials to malicious individuals. We accomplish this by looking specifically for our clients’ top-level email domains. When a credential is identified, we harvest it. While we harvest data from typical hacker sites like Pastebin, a lot of our data originates from sites that require credibility or a membership within the hacker community to enter. To that end, we monitor over 500 distinct Internet relay chatroom (IRC) channels, 600,000 private Websites, 600 twitter feeds, and execute 10,000 refined queries daily.

Does the Identification of my organization's exposed credentials mean we are being targeted by hackers?
While we can’t say definitively that the data we’ve discovered has already been used to exploit your organization, the fact that we are able to identify this data should be very concerning. Organizations should consult their internal or external IT and/or security teams to determine if they have suffered a cyber incident or data breach.

What can an attacker do with compromised credentials?
They can send spam from compromised email accounts, deface web properties and host malicious content, install malware on compromised systems, compromise other accounts using the same credentials, exfiltrate sensitive data (data breach), and identity theft. The average number of data records per company compromised during a data breach totals 28,500. Each one represents another potential entry point to compromise the organization’s networks and data.
