Dark Web Credential Monitoring

You monitor your personal credit score - but what are you doing to monitor the security of online accounts, passwords, and private information?

How does my information get into the criminals hands in the first place?

For example, as you plan your next trip out of town, you book a hotel room at ​www.marriott.com​. Next week, a Russian-based hacking group attacks Marriott and is able to breach their website. The hackers access the backend systems and databases that contain all of the information Marriott required from you when you booked your room: Name, address, etc. as well as the username - ​joe@yourbusiness.com and the password you used to create the actual account on Marriott’s website.

The Russian-based hacking group then posts the stolen information they’ve gotten their hands on for sale on the dark web. The records will sell for $1-3 each typically. Other cyber criminals will buy 100, 1000, or 10,000 of Marriott’s records from the Russian hackers. Your information is one of the records purchased. The criminals will then automate and script trying to gain access to thousands of other online accounts using the credentials they purchased - ​knowing most people are going to use the same password for their ​www.marriott.com​ account as they do for their Amazon, eBay, and work portal accounts. ​They have a lot of success. Suddenly, they have access to other accounts - accounts that have credit cards stored for payment methods, etc. Not a good situation!

How does Dark Web Monitoring work?

Dark Web monitoring constantly monitors the dark web and the deep web for any new websites, forum posts, or any other online medium for any information related to anyone with an @yourbusiness.com account. When credentials or other information is found, we notify the affected person and provide them with guidance of what the information is out there and what specific steps they need to take to secure their other accounts, etc. We also notify management/ownership anytime compromised information is found.

Once the information is published on the dark web or deep web, it’s there - nothing can be done about it. However, the person affected needs to be aware of the information and make sure that they’ve changed other passwords appropriately and/or otherwise secured their identity depending on the type of information found.
