Messaging & Chats

The Messaging & Chats module is part of the DRP solution focused on identifying digital threats that emerge in informal, high-velocity communication channels. These environments, such as Telegram, IRC, and Discord, are often used to discuss vulnerabilities, coordinate attacks, or circulate leaked data before such activity becomes visible on broader platforms. By maintaining active monitoring in these spaces, the module helps organizations anticipate and respond to security incidents in their earliest stages.

What We Monitor

This module tracks conversations and shared content in public and private groups where threat actors, hacktivist communities, or information leakers may be active.

  • On Telegram, it follows discussions in large public channels and groups known for spreading sensitive information.

  • IRC remains relevant among certain technical circles where tactics, tools, and exploits are often exchanged.

  • Discord, with its diverse range of communities, also includes servers where information security topics are discussed, sometimes, including confidential or malicious content.

Why This Matters

Real-time chat environments are where many threats first surface, often, hours or days before appearing in traditional intelligence feeds. For security teams, having visibility into these spaces is critical for early detection and proactive defense.

This module enhances an organization’s ability to identify and respond to threats involving leaked data, impersonation attempts, exposed credentials, and reputational risks, all in alignment with a broader digital risk protection strategy.
