Digital Beachhead's Dark Web Monitoring

The danger of the Dark Web lies in the anonymity that it provides. Because of this anonymity, the Dark Web is the perfect place for scammers to buy and sell user data in underground marketplaces. 

For example, in January 2022, a hacker was able to infiltrate Twitter’s platform and download information from 6.7 million users. 

This data breach included user email addresses, phone numbers, full names, and usernames.  The database was put up for sale on the Dark Web for $30,000.  In the wrong hands, this kind of data can be used to steal your identity, access your bank account, or even obtain medical care under your name.  Even worse, in most cases, you’ll never know your data was stolen — until it’s too late. 

Dark Web monitoring is a form of threat intelligence that involves scanning for your personal information on the Dark Web. It's a critical part of identity theft protection as it allows you to address leaked data as soon as possible.

A Dark Web monitoring tool works by scanning thousands of websites every day for mentions of your personal information.

If your information is found, you receive an alert that allows you to change compromised account details before it's too late.

Some types of information that can be bought on the Dark Web include:

• Personally identifiable information (PII). This includes your full name, home address, phone number, driver’s license, and Social Security number (SSN)— all of which can be used to steal your identity. 
• Account login information. Many hacks target username-password combinations for online services. Popular accounts on Dark Web forums include banking, streaming services, and social media accounts. 
• Financial information. Stolen credit card numbers, online banking credentials, cryptocurrency account information, and insurance records are common targets.
• Personal health information (PHI). Hackers target medical data including your medical history and biometric data (like fingerprints). This can lead to fingerprint identity theft and medical identity theft. 
• Corporate data. This includes confidential information like intellectual property, operational details, and patents. 

Dark Web monitoring is a form of threat intelligence that involves scanning for your corporate/personal information on the Dark Web. It's a critical part of identity theft protection as it allows you to address leaked data as soon as possible.
