Hi everyone,

I’m planning to start dark web monitoring for my company to detect things like:

• Leaked company emails or passwords
• Brand/domain mentions on dark web forums
• Possible data breach indicators

Specifically curious about:

• How do you detect leaked credentials, emails, or brand mentions on the dark web?
• Is it mostly done via threat‑intelligence tools or manual monitoring?
• What kind of keywords or indicators are typically tracked?
• How do teams validate whether leaked data is real or fake?
• Any best practices for doing this legally and safely?

Would really appreciate insights from people who’ve already implemented this in real environments.
