Are Your Digital Credentials For Sale on the Dark Web?
With the ever-changing cyber security threats, Intelligent IT has added a new defense tool for Dark Web Monitoring. This tool gives us the ability to monitor the Dark Web for your compromised credentials (emails, passwords, and financial & personal information ) associated with your organizations domain.
Digital credentials such as usernames and passwords connect your employees to critical business applications and online services. Unfortunately, criminals know this — and that’s why digital credentials are among the most valuable assets found on the Dark Web. The Dark Web is made up of digital communities that sit on top of the Internet. It is estimated that over 50% of all sites are used for criminal activities, including the disclosure and sale of digital credentials. Far too often, companies that have had their credentials compromised and sold on the Dark Web. They don’t know it until they have been informed by law enforcement — but by then, it’s too late.
What is the Dark Web?
The Dark Web is a hidden universe contained within the “Deep Web”- a sub-layer of the Internet that is hidden from conventional search engines. Search engines like Google, BING and Yahoo only search 4% of the indexed or “surface” Internet. The other 96% of the Web consists of databases, private academic and government networks, and the Dark Web. Therefore, it is estimated at 550 times larger than the surface Web and growing. Because you can operate anonymously, this portion of the web holds a wealth of stolen data and illegal activity.
