Dark web monitoring

Dark web monitoring & threat exposure management: know what hackers know, before your business finds out the hard way.

Why NordStellar?

When it comes to stolen user credentials, the stats are quite sobering. The latest research found 73% of ransomware victims had a credential leak or infostealer infection in the year before the attack (Verizon DBIR 2026) and with the same research finding that stolen credentials appear at some stage in 39% of breaches, they’re being used before and during an attack, meaning that a hacker’s next move becomes harder to predict. 

The issue is that nobody in your business is reading dark web forums, Telegram or ransomware blogs for such data and, even if they are, how do you do that at scale?  

If you’re worried about what user data and information is on the dark web, NordStellar can show you what information hackers have access to so that you can act before your business is targeted.

FAQs

Got questions? Start here.

“Aren’t we too small to be a target?”

Half of UK small businesses identified a cyber breach or attack in the past year (UK Government Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025).  

“Surely our antivirus has this covered?”

82% of attacks detected in 2025 involved no malware at all, so anti-virus alone has nothing to catch (CrowdStrike Global Threat Report 2026). NordStellar watches outside your perimeter.  

“If we use strong passwords, will that be ok?”

Stolen credentials were behind more breaches than any other starting point in Verizon’s 2025 report (22%), and 88% of web application attack breaches. Strength doesn’t help once it’s leaked.
