🔍 Harnessing Threat Intelligence from the Dark Web 🔍 In today's rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, obtaining threat intelligence from the dark web has become crucial for organizations aiming to stay ahead of cybercriminals. The dark web is a breeding ground for malicious activities like selling stolen data, hacking services, and zero-day exploits. By monitoring this space, businesses can gain actionable insights into potential risks and vulnerabilities before they turn into full-blown attacks. 🛡️ Why Dark Web Threat Intelligence Matters: 🔴 Identifies compromised credentials and leaked data early. 🔴 Detects discussions around vulnerabilities affecting your infrastructure. 🔴 Monitors malicious chatter about potential targeted attacks. 📊 Key Tools for Dark Web Monitoring: 🔵 Recorded Future – Provides real-time insights from the dark web, helping organizations proactively manage cyber threats. 🔵 DarkOwl – Focuses on automated dark web data collection and analysis to alert users about emerging threats. 🔵 DigitalShadows – Offers deep monitoring of digital risks across the dark web and surface web, helping to prevent data leaks. 🔵 SpyCloud – Specializes in identifying stolen credentials and preventing account takeovers with threat intelligence. 🔵 IntSights, a Rapid7 company – Provides tailored alerts for threats discovered on the dark web, enabling rapid responses to potential risks.

In 2024, cyberattacks have grown increasingly sophisticated, targeting major corporations and governments. Key incidents included the use of AI-driven ransomware, exploiting vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure, and large-scale data breaches.  According to several popular sources of Threat intelligence reporting; IBM X-Force and BCS Cyber attacks, below is a list of top 3 attacks so far in 2024, according to volume of data or users compromised;    1. Spy.pet service breached user privacy by using data scraping from Discord servers. Discord is a popular instant messaging social media platform. And in this attack, about 4 billion records were compromised. 2. Zenlayer, the 2nd largest cloud provider in the US suffered an attack on an unsecured database, leading to exposure of customer’s record in plain text format, that was accessible by threat actors (on the dark web), for spear phishing purposes. Here, about 380 million records were compromised. 3. Russian Planeta Research Center network vulnerabilities in Russian infrastructure resulted to loss of 2PetaBytes of data. Years and years of research, gone. The IBM’s X-Force Threat Intelligence index for 2024 also presents some interesting trends like infostealer software, Kerberoasting, including several creative attacks launched by threat actors which I would present in subsequent posts.
