Dark web monitoring is the practice of surveilling hidden services, criminal forums, and encrypted chat channels where stolen data is bought and sold. While Tor is the best-known dark web technology, much of today's criminal trade also happens on Telegram, invite-only forums, and specialized lookup services.
Effective monitoring goes beyond keyword alerts. Teams need context on who is selling data, how fresh it is, and whether it maps to real employee or customer exposures. Infostealer intelligence complements dark web monitoring by providing structured, searchable access to the stealer logs that fuel these markets.
