Breach detection asks what leaked. This asks what is coming.
Data breach detection is a searchable database of leaked records. Dark web & forum monitoring is reconnaissance: an active watch on the conversations, listings and unverified dumps where threat actors work. It is not about records to search, it is about intel while there is still time to act.
What of ours has leaked?
- Leaked records you search and monitor
- Breaches, combo lists, stealer logs, dumps, ransomware leak files
- After the fact: the data is already out
What is being said, offered or prepared against us?
- Threads, channel posts, pastes, listings and announcements
- Forums, Telegram, Discord, paste sites, broker shops, ransomware sites
- Before the incident, or in its first hours
- Pre-incidentPreparing
Someone hunts for an insider, or asks to buy access to a company like yours.
- Pre-incidentSelling access
Network access is listed: country, industry, revenue band, VPN or RDP.
- Early incidentTesting
A live config file is dropped on a paste site to test a connection.
- Early incidentAnnouncing
A ransomware group names a victim before it publishes the files.
- AfterLeaked
Records and files are out: searchable in data breach detection.
Where threat actors talk, sell and announce.
Six source types, one way of working: every post translated, categorised and kept with its full source.
Cybercrime forums
Who is selling, who is buying and what they are hunting for: access, databases, combolists, cards and tools.
You find Access sales, buying requests, data offersTelegram and Discord
Channels and servers where leaks are announced, tools are shared and buyers are found. Chosen for relevance, not for a count.
You find Drops, announcements, recruitingPaste sites
Not darknet, but often first: credentials, configs and samples pasted in plain sight.
You find Configs, credentials, proof samplesWhy pastes matterData broker shops
Shops that sell personal and corporate data. A match means data tied to you is on the market right now.
You find Webmail access, identity recordsRansomware leak sites
Victim announcements by company, group, industry and country: early warning for you and your suppliers.

This is the conversation, not the leaked data. We keep going back to threads after we first collect them, so replies posted weeks or months later still reach your results. Search leaked data instead →

Fictional threads, users, forums, shops and paste sites.
Not darknet. Still where leaks show up first.
Paste sites are ordinary websites where anyone can publish text, often without an account. They sit on the open web, not on Tor. Attackers still use them to drop credentials, configs and samples, to prove a hack or to test a connection, and many pastes are never indexed by search engines.
No Tor, often no account: the fastest way to publish.
Removed on abuse reports, so it pays to be fast.
Breaches, credential leaks and exposed infrastructure, often before the victim notices.
- Email and password pairs, corporate logins
- Configuration files with hosts and secrets
- API keys and access tokens
- Database samples posted as proof
- Logs, stack traces and code with internal names
- Target lists and doxxing

We crawl dozens of paste sites directly where they publish an index, and reach more through search-engine queries. Results stay in our database, and a live search covers the active paste sites right now.

Automated live feeds run around the clock. Our analyst team covers forums on top, and when someone sells data, the team also adds an entry to the database.
Every hit keeps its source: forum and sub-forum, channel, paste site or shop, the author and three timestamps, with a link to open it on the source.
Buyers and sellers often reply weeks later. Because we go back to threads, those replies still reach your results and your monitors.
For the teams that want to know first.
