Threat Intelligence &
Dark Web Monitoring

We monitor look-alike domains, phishing sites, leaked credentials, exposed code, fake apps and dark web chatter about your brand on your plan's scan cycle, and act on what you confirm.

Trusted by publishers, media, education and D2C brands

What our threat intelligence service covers

Passive monitoring of the open, deep and dark web for threats aimed at your brand, domains, people and customers. Here is what we look for.

Tech Stack Vulnerability

Spot outdated or exposed technology on your internet-facing assets

Attackers look for outdated software, misconfigured services and known vulnerabilities (CVEs) on internet-facing systems.

We use passive discovery of your internet-facing technologies from public sources and match what we find against published vulnerability data. Any active testing happens only under a separate written authorisation.

You get prioritised findings, so your security team can fix what matters first.

Git & Public Code Exposure

Find leaked source code, secrets and credentials in public repositories

API keys, passwords and proprietary code regularly leak into public repositories and paste sites, often through well-meaning employees or contractors.

On your plan's scan cycle, we search public code platforms such as GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket, and paste sites, for code and secrets linked to your organisation and domains.

We alert you so you can rotate exposed secrets, and file takedown requests for leaked code you confirm, such as a DMCA notice to GitHub.

Look-Alike Domains / Typosquatting

Spot look-alike domains used for phishing and brand fraud

Look-alike domains, made with swapped letters, look-alike characters or extra words, are a common starting point for phishing and business email compromise (BEC).

We monitor new look-alike domain registrations on a schedule and add the registrar, hosting, mail (MX) records and a screenshot to each finding, so you can judge the risk quickly.

For the domains you confirm, we file abuse reports with registrars and hosts. Where a domain itself infringes your trademark, independent counsel can bring a domain dispute (UDRP, or INDRP for .in domains).

Fake Executive Profiles

Find fake profiles of your leaders, recruiters and spokespeople

Fake profiles of founders, executives and recruiters on LinkedIn, X, Telegram and WhatsApp are used for investment scams, fake job offers and credential theft.

On your plan's scan cycle, we look for accounts that use your executives' names, photos or job titles, including near-miss spellings.

We file impersonation reports and track each one to resolution. Where a platform offers rights holders and their agents a dedicated reporting channel and we have access to it, we use it.

OSINT / Web Intelligence

Open-source intelligence on threats, actors, and emerging campaigns

Early signs of an attack often show up in open sources: forums, breach indexes, paste sites, social posts and code commits.

Our analysts track mentions of your brand, domains and key people across these sources, and connect them into campaign timelines and indicators of compromise.

You get context, not just alerts, so your security and risk teams can decide what to act on.

Fake Apps

Find fake mobile apps that impersonate your brand

Fake apps on third-party stores pose as your official app to steal logins, spread malware or unlock paid features.

We monitor the app stores agreed in your plan and compare app names, icons, screenshots and developer details with your official apps.

For the apps you confirm, we file takedown requests with the store, and keep a record of each app for any later legal action.

Human Intelligence (HUMINT)

Analyst monitoring of closed sources, where lawful and approved

Some threat information circulates only in invitation-only forums and closed channels that automated tools can't reach.

Where lawful and approved in writing, trained analysts monitor closed sources under documented rules of engagement.

They report chatter about your brand, leaked data offered for sale and planned campaigns that automated monitoring can miss.

Deep & Dark Web Leaked Data

Find leaked credentials, customer data and company documents

Stolen logins, customer records and internal documents often surface on dark web markets, breach indexes and ransomware leak sites, sometimes long before a company learns of the breach.

On your plan's scan cycle, we monitor these sources for data linked to your domains, employees and customers.

Each alert comes with guidance on next steps, such as resetting credentials and deciding whether customers or the authorities need to be told.

How our threat intelligence service works

Passive monitoring, analyst triage, and action only on what you confirm.

  1. Map your footprint

    Your domains, brands, apps, executives and code organisations. Discovery is passive, from public sources; any active testing needs a separate written authorisation.

  2. We monitor on your plan's cycle

    New domain registrations, public code and paste sites, app stores, social and messaging platforms, and deep and dark web sources. First findings arrive within 7 working days.

  3. Analysts triage every alert

    Each finding is checked, enriched with hosting, registrar and screenshot details, and prioritised, so your team sees what matters first.

  4. You confirm each takedown

    Nothing is filed until you confirm it.

  5. We act and track

    Abuse reports go to registrars and hosts, reports to app stores and platforms, and takedown requests for leaked code; leaked data comes with guidance on next steps. Every request's status is in your dashboard.

  6. Escalate when needed

    Complaint packs for cybercrime units, and domain disputes or other legal steps through independent counsel; fees quoted per matter.

Threat intelligence FAQs

What does your threat intelligence service monitor?

Look-alike domains and phishing sites, leaked credentials and customer data, exposed code and secrets, fake apps, fake executive profiles, and mentions of your brand on the deep and dark web. Monitoring runs on your plan's scan cycle, and first findings arrive within 7 working days.

Can you take down phishing sites?

We file abuse reports with the phishing site's registrar and host, with the evidence they need to act, and track each report in your dashboard. The registrar or host decides whether to suspend the site.

How do you find look-alike domains?

We monitor new look-alike domain registrations on a schedule, checking for swapped letters, look-alike characters and added words. Each finding comes with its registrar, hosting and mail records and a screenshot, so you can judge the risk.

Do you monitor the dark web for leaked credentials?

Yes. We monitor dark web markets, breach indexes, paste sites and ransomware leak sites for data linked to your domains, employees and customers, and send each alert with guidance on next steps, such as resetting credentials.

Do you scan or test our systems?

No. Discovery is passive and uses public sources only. Any active testing happens only under a separate written authorisation.

Do your analysts monitor closed forums?

Where lawful and approved in writing, trained analysts monitor closed sources under documented rules of engagement. Nothing is done in closed communities without that approval.
