Dark web monitoring is continuous scanning of the places stolen data is traded and shared, such as dark web marketplaces, breach forums and stealer logs, for credentials and information linked to your business. PC Madness monitors your staff email addresses and company domain, and alerts you in real time when a match appears.
Dark Web Monitoring
Dark Web Monitoring
for Perth Businesses
Dark web monitoring watches for your business's email addresses, passwords and domain turning up where criminals trade them. PC Madness continuously scans dark web sources, breach forums and stealer logs for leaked credentials linked to your business, and alerts you in real time when there's a match, so an exposed password can be changed before it's used against you.
Why leaked credentials matter
When a website or app your staff use is breached, their email addresses and passwords can end up traded on the dark web, posted on breach forums or collected in stealer logs from infected devices. Anyone who buys or finds them can try them against your business email and cloud accounts, and you usually have no idea it has happened.
PC Madness dark web monitoring watches for your business's credentials and domain continuously, and alerts you in real time when they appear, so the exposed password can be changed before someone uses it.
"Find out your staff credentials have leaked from an alert, not from a compromised mailbox."
What our dark web monitoring includes
Continuous scanning for your leaked credentials and domain, with real-time alerts, run by the PC Madness team.
Continuous dark web scanning
Dark web marketplaces and breach forums are scanned continuously for your business's email addresses and passwords, not checked once and forgotten.
Stealer log monitoring
Stealer logs, the credential dumps harvested from malware-infected devices, are monitored for logins tied to your business.
Brand and domain monitoring
Your company domain and brand are monitored, so exposures linked to your business are picked up even when they involve an address you didn't think to list.
Real-time alerting
You're alerted in real time when a match is found, so the exposed password can be changed while it still matters.
Backed by MFA and password management
Multi-factor authentication and enterprise password management with company-wide password policies limit what a leaked password can unlock.
Part of layered security
Dark web monitoring sits alongside EDR / MDR, DNS filtering, email security and 24/7 monitoring in our managed cybersecurity services.
How dark web monitoring works
-
1.
Set up. Your business domain and staff email addresses are added to monitoring.
-
2.
Scan. Dark web sources, breach forums and stealer logs are scanned continuously for leaked credentials and mentions of your domain and brand.
-
3.
Alert. When a match turns up, you get a real-time alert showing what was exposed.
-
4.
Respond. The exposed password is changed, and multi-factor authentication and company-wide password policies keep a leaked password from being enough on its own.
Part of your layered managed security
Dark web monitoring tells you when credentials have leaked, and works best alongside the layers that stop them being used. PC Madness combines it with identity management and multi-factor authentication, identity threat detection and response (ITDR) for when a leaked credential is used anyway, EDR / MDR endpoint protection, Check Point Harmony email and collaboration security for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, patch management, cloud backups and 24/7 monitoring. Whether you're a small business with 1-10 users or an established team of 25-50, we manage it all from our Midland HQ.

Common Questions
Dark web monitoring FAQs
Most often a website or app a staff member signed up to was breached and its user list leaked, or a device was infected with malware that harvested saved logins into a stealer log. Neither needs your own systems to be breached, which is why reusing a work password on other sites is risky.
You get a real-time alert showing what was exposed, so the affected password can be changed. Multi-factor authentication and enterprise password management with company-wide password policies mean a leaked password on its own isn't enough to get into your accounts.
Yes. As well as staff credentials, dark web monitoring covers your company domain and brand, so exposures linked to your business are picked up even if they involve an address you didn't list.
