Threat Intelligence & Brand Protection

Detect threats to your brand on the Deep and Dark Web before they become an incident.

We continuously monitor the Surface, Deep and Dark Web to detect fake domains, credential sales, code leaks, social-media impersonation and targeted campaigns against your brand. We coordinate takedowns with ISPs, registrars and global platforms, with a focus on LatAm-contextualized threats.

Monitored layers

Surface · Deep · Dark + emerging channels

We cover ten cross-monitoring layers, from public indexing to closed cybercrime forums, to detect threats as soon as they appear.

L1

Surface Web

Google, Bing, public social networks, indexed sites. A common first appearance point for threats.

L2

Deep Web

Topic forums, paste sites (Pastebin, GhostBin), private repositories, non-indexed content.

L3

Dark Web (Tor)

Credential markets, hacking forums, ransomware leaks, initial-access sales.

L4

Telegram & Discord

Cybercrime channels and groups — the fastest-growing vector in LatAm over the past 18 months.

L5

GitHub & code leaks

Secrets, API keys, exposed proprietary code, forked repos with malicious changes.

L6

Domain registries

Typosquatting and homoglyph domain registrations, phishing kits, certificate transparency logs.

L7

App stores

Fake apps impersonating the brand on Play Store, App Store and alternative stores.

L8

Social impersonation

Fake accounts on LinkedIn, Instagram, X, Facebook impersonating executives or the brand.

L9

Credential markets

Combolists, employee and customer leaks, validation against HIBP and private feeds.

L10

Ransomware leak sites

Extortion sites where ransomware groups publish data from victims who refused to pay.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is monitored?

Mentions of the brand and its executives across Surface, Deep and Dark Web, lookalike domains registered for impersonation, fake social media profiles, corporate credentials leaked in breaches and forums, and leaks of internal code or documents.

What is a takedown and how long does it take?

It is the process of requesting removal of a malicious asset — a fraudulent domain, fake profile or impersonating app — from the registrar, hosting provider or platform. Timing depends on the intermediary and the quality of the evidence supplied, which is why we document each case before escalating.

What do I do if my company's credentials appear leaked?

First force a reset of those passwords and review whether they were used to gain access, because the bigger risk is reuse across other corporate services. Continuous monitoring exists so that you hear it from us and not from the attacker.

Is this the same as an antivirus or a SOC?

No. Antivirus and SOC look inward, at what happens inside your infrastructure. Threat intelligence looks outward: what is being said, sold or prepared against your organization in places your internal controls cannot reach.
