Edgewatch’s Breachspot continuously monitors public databases, online criminal forums, and data markets for compromised information. The data collected is enriched with context, and sensitive information —such as hashed passwords— can be decoded and indexed for further investigation. We group data by findings, though they may belong to the same data leak, incident, or just an illegitimate data collection that has been exposed. Any of these findings can be used by an attacker to launch attacks, uncover weaknesses, and work around corporate defenses.
