REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Dec. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Entreda, an award-winning developer of integrated cybersecurity software and solutions for regulated industries, today announced the launch of Credential Theft Monitoring, a proprietary solution that automatically and continuously scans the dark web for client firms’ compromised logins and passwords, then alerts users and provides remediation plans based on the risk exposure.
The “dark web” refers to sectors of the internet that are not detectable to search engines and often require specialized software or authorization to access. Dark web sites frequently serve as marketplaces where cyber thieves buy, sell and trade user login credentials they have obtained through data breaches or other improper means. There are more than 15 billion stolen logins circulating around the dark web, according to a 2020 report from Digital Shadows, a provider of digital risk solutions. That number was up 300 percent since 2018. Stolen credentials are one of the primary channels for ransomware attacks, in which cyber criminals encrypt data on an infected device and only provide users access if they pay a ransom.
