Deep/Dark Web

The Deep / Dark Web section of the DRP concentrates on hidden parts of the internet. Sites and forums that are deliberately excluded from mainstream search engines and often require special networks such as Tor for access. These spaces host a steady trade in stolen data, privileged-access offers and discussions about forthcoming attacks.

What We Monitor

• Leak and dump sites: repositories where attackers publish or sell credential collections, internal documents, or customer records.

• Underground marketplaces: listings that advertise remote-access tools, exploits, or corporate assets for sale.

• Ransomware and extortion blogs: pages where criminal groups announce victims, publish sample data, and negotiate payments.

• Closed technical forums: invitation-only boards where threat actors exchange tactics or crowd-source vulnerabilities.

Why This Matters

Activity in deep and dark-web communities frequently precedes high-profile breaches or reputational crises. Early awareness allows security teams to validate whether their data is exposed, understand adversary intentions and launch containment measures before damage escalates. Continuous monitoring of these hidden environments therefore forms a critical layer of defence within a comprehensive Digital Risk Protection strategy.
