Threat Scan Checks

Dark web checks to highlight when identities have been compromised.

What it entails

Threat Scan Checks ingest dark-web and breach-database feeds to flag whether an identity or credential has been exposed within the last 3 days, 30 days, or earlier. They bucket compromise events by recency (high, medium, low) to surface the most urgent risks. Historical compromise age tiers help prioritize remediation.

Why it works

Attackers leverage freshly compromised credentials for account takeover and credential-stuffing before victims reset passwords. Recent breaches represent high-velocity fraud windows that automated monitoring can intercept.
