Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to analyze the dark web every month?
Yes. It is a proactive approach to detect compromised data, leaked credentials, and emerging threats before they escalate. Analyzing the dark web every month helps track trends and cybercrime activity, providing insights to adjust security strategies and improve defenses against new risks.
How do you verify the validity of the credentials?
We access up-to-date information released daily. While older credentials are generally less likely to be valid, we don’t automatically verify them. Testing credentials can be done in a separate engagement.
Would new leaks be found every month?
Yes, they could. Cybercriminals constantly add stolen data, exploit kits, and emerging threats to dark web marketplaces and forums. There is also a benefit in not finding results in a given month, indicating that there were no new breached credentials for that time period.
