Dark Web Mentions
Dark Web Mentions refer to detections where one of your configured keywords appears on dark web sources monitored by WhiteIntel. Organizations can define keywords such as brand names, product names, executive names, or any other terms relevant to their risk profile.
Whiteintel continuously monitors a wide range of dark web resources, including:
Hacker forums
TOR-based marketplaces
Cracking communities
Leaked database hubs
Underground chat platforms
Paste sites and anonymous sharing services
When a monitored keyword appears on any of these sources, Whiteintel generates a Dark Web Mention Record, providing:
The detected keyword
Timestamp of the discovery
Source type (forum, marketplace, chat, TOR site)
Contextual text surrounding the mention (when available)
Link or reference to the original post or resource
Examples of useful keywords include:
Organization name:
AcmeHigh-value products:

Supply-chain partner names
Dark Web Mention monitoring allows organizations to:
Detect discussions related to targeted attacks
Identify leaked internal data or credentials being shared
Spot brand impersonation or fraud attempts
Track threat actor activity involving the organization
Respond early to emerging risks before they escalate
By enabling keyword-based monitoring across dark web ecosystems, Whiteintel provides actionable visibility into threats that may otherwise remain hidden.
