Dark Web Compromise & Remediation

How can Dark Web Monitoring help protect my Company?

UNAPEN Dark Web Monitoring is designed to help any type of company proactively detect and mitigate cyber threats that leverage stolen email addresses and passwords.

Our service utilizes a combination of human effort combined with artificial intelligence to scour botnets, criminal chat rooms, blogs, websites and bulletin boards, Peer to Peer networks, forums, private networks, and other black-market sites 24x7x365 in order to identify stolen credentials and other Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

What is the Dark Web?

The Dark Web is a hidden universe contained within the “Deep Web”, a sub-layer of internet that is hidden from conventional search engines.

Search Engines like Google, BING and Yahoo only search about .04% of the indexes or “Surface” internet. The other 99.6% of the web consists of databases, private, academic, government networks and the Dark Web.

The Dark Web is 550 times larger than the surface web and constantly growing. Given the ability to operate anonymously, the Dark Web holds a wealth of stolen data and illegal activity.

My credentials are exposed on the Dark Web…What should I do next?

If your Credentials or Personally Identifiable Information (PII) are found on the Dark Web, it is important that you take swift action. It is only a matter of time before exposure becomes a problematic and costly compromise. Next steps will vary based on the type of exposure found.

Outlined Below are Remediation Guidelines, by Type of Exposure Reported:

Personally Identifiable Information (PII) – Credit/Debit Card Numbers, Expiration, etc…

Check your statements or online accounts for malicious activity.
Contact your financial institutions to confirm their fraud monitoring is active.
- Most institutions provide some form of free monitoring of your accounts.
Consider changing or replacing card(s).
Consider an identity theft and fraud protection service like SpotLight ID.

Personally Identifiable Information (PII) - Social Security, Name, Address, etc…

Password - Plain Text/Decrypted

Password - Encrypted

3rd Party Breach

Keylogger/Phishing Email

Change password for the account where the compromise was found.
Consider running malware/anti-virus scans on devices that might have been compromised to determine if a keylogger or other malicious piece of software may be in place.
Consider email you might have received requesting you to click a link to update a profile or reset credentials or request to send money.
- These are often forms of email phishing attacks. If an email is suspect, notify your IT resource.

Ex-Employee Email Credentials

Fake Email Accounts

Fake email accounts are often created by employees for testing purposes OR by a cyber thief attempting to perform a well-crafted phishing attack or similar email scheme.
Often, the identification of fake email accounts indicates that an organization has been targeted by individuals or groups in the past.
Taking time to verify the validity of a fake email and ensuring the account is not in use is still a valid exercise.
