Dark Web Monitoring
Continuously monitor breach databases, paste sites, and darknet sources for your domains, emails, and keywords. Get alerted when credentials or sensitive data appear in the wild.
1Overview
Dark Web Monitoring scans multiple intelligence sources for mentions of your organization's assets — domains, email addresses, and custom keywords. When a match is found, a finding is created with severity classification, source details, and remediation guidance.
Dark Web Monitoring is available on Pro plans and above. Free plans can view the feature but cannot configure monitoring assets.
2Setup Wizard
Navigate to Intelligence → Dark Web in the sidebar to access the monitoring dashboard.
3Data Sources
Vulnios aggregates intelligence from multiple sources, deduplicating findings by fingerprint to avoid noise.
Checks domains against 700+ known data breaches. Identifies exposed email accounts and breach details.
Deep credential search across leaked databases. Returns leaked passwords, sources, and exposure timestamps.
Monitors paste sites, darknet forums, and data dumps for keyword and domain mentions.

5Findings & Severity
Each finding is automatically classified by severity based on the type of exposure:
Findings are deduplicated by fingerprint — the same breach won't generate duplicate alerts. Dismissed findings are hidden from the dashboard but retained for audit purposes.
6Alerts & Notifications
When new critical or high-severity findings are discovered, Vulnios triggers alerts through your configured notification channels (email, webhooks). Alert events include:
