Dark Web Monitoring Guide

Dark Web Monitoring - Open Beta

Dark Web Monitoring helps you discover if your employees’ email addresses have been exposed in data breaches. When you run a scan, we check each email address against a database of over 600 million compromised accounts from thousands of known breaches.

Why this matters

When a website or service gets hacked, stolen credentials often end up on the dark web where criminals buy and sell them. If employees reuse passwords between personal and work accounts and those passwords were exposed, your organization is at risk.

Key benefits

• Find compromised accounts fast — Identify which employees have appeared in data breaches
• Scan everyone at once — Check your entire organization with one click
• Know what’s at risk — See exactly what types of information were exposed
• Scan anytime — Run scans whenever you need them

How it works

We partner with Have I Been Pwned (HIBP), a trusted breach database, to check your organization’s email addresses.

The simple 3‑step process

1. You initiate a scan

   • Click Scan All Users to check everyone

   • Or click the scan icon next to an individual user

     

2. We check the database

   • Each email is securely checked against 600+ million compromised accounts
   • Thousands of known breaches are searched

   
   

3. You get clear results

   • See which users were found in breaches
   • View exactly what data was exposed

     

Getting started
