New Free Monitoring Tool Released to Measure Your Dark Web Exposure, While Hackers Go on Rampage to Cheaply Sale Emails, Passwords, Financial Details and Other Credentials Leaked on Internet.

By Editor

Last week, application security company ImmuniWeb released a new free tool to monitor and measure an organization's exposure on the Dark Web.

To improve the decision-making process for cybersecurity professionals, the free tool crawls Dark Web marketplaces, hacking forums, and Surface Web resources such as Pastebin or GitHub to provide you with a classified schema of your data being offered for sale or leaked.

All you need to launch a Dark Web search is to enter your domain name.

The volume of stolen credentials on the Dark Web is booming.


This week, over 26 million user records, including plaintext passwords, stolen from LiveJournal appeared on a Dark Web marketplace for as low as $35. The present week is likewise sadly marked with a compromise of 31 SQL databases (with 1.6 million rows of client data) from webshop owners.

There were 7,098 breaches reported in 2019, exposing over 15.1 billion records, a new worst year on record according to Risk Based Security report. Over 80% of data breaches within the hacking category involve usage of lost or stolen credentials, says the Data Breach Investigations Report 2020 by Verizon.

While over 21 million of stolen login credentials from Fortune 500 companies were readily available for sale in the Dark Web, according to ImmuniWeb report from 2019.

ImmuniWeb Dark Web monitoring tool in action.


ImmuniWeb says that its Deep Learning AI technology is capable of distinguishing and removing duplicates and fake records, providing actionable and risk-scored data to its clients.

Here is an example of findings for a well-known financial institution:


Interestingly, for Gartner, there are over 100,000 mentions of detected login credentials and other data. However only 14% pass the AI-enabled validation, and as low as 466 were assigned a critical risk, potentially exposing apparently valid passwords from business-critical web resources:

In its press release, ImmuniWeb also mentions that on top visibility across 30 billion of stolen credentials, the free online test likewise detects and provides full technical details:

  • Phishing Campaigns
  • Domain Squatting
  • Trademark Infringement
  • Fake Social Networks Accounts

For example, for Yahoo, 131 ongoing phishing campaigns are targeting its clients, over 1,000 cybersquatted or typosquatted domains, many of which redirect to malware and ransomware doorways.

The hyperlinks to the malicious websites are displayed in a safe manner, with each entry also equipped with a screenshot to enable security professionals to assess the risk without the need to open dangerous web resources in their browser.

The tool is also available via a free API, making it an invaluable instrument for SOC security analysts to timely spot security emerging web security and privacy threats.

Last time we mentioned ImmuniWeb was among Top 10 Most Innovative Cybersecurity Companies after RSA 2020, and it seems that while successfully pursuing its growth track, their team doesn't forget to contribute to the cybersecurity community. Good work!

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

By Editor
The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda.  I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know.  It got me totally messed up.  This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood.  He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations.  His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion.  So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe?  Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...
