DarkStrata

Quick answers

1. What is DarkStrata?

   DarkStrata is a dark web monitoring and stolen credential detection service for businesses, MSPs and SOC teams. It continuously scans infostealer logs, breach dumps, criminal forums and Telegram channels for your organization's domains, alerts you within seconds of a match, and privately tells the affected employee what to do. Alerts are available through the web console, APIs, webhooks, STIX 2.1 export and a native MCP server for AI agents.

2. How do I check if my company's credentials are on the dark web?

   Run the free domain check on DarkStrata's website. Enter your work email and you'll receive a report counting the stolen staff and customer credentials and breach records tied to your company's domain, with a risk rating. No account or credit card is required. A 7-day free trial then shows the individual exposures and lets you notify the people affected.

3. Is there a free dark web scan for businesses?

   Yes. DarkStrata's domain check is free and covers every user under your domain, unlike consumer tools that check one email address at a time. Free consumer scans do not cover infostealer logs, session cookies or sub-domains, and they cannot notify your staff or feed your SIEM.

4. How do I choose a dark web monitoring service?

   Judge a service on four things: whether it covers infostealer logs and session cookies rather than only breach dumps, how fast it alerts after data appears, whether employees can act on their own exposure without security staff seeing their passwords, and whether alerts reach your SIEM, ticketing and AI agents through APIs.

5. What is the Credential Check API?

   The Credential Check API allows you to verify if credentials have been compromised using cryptographically secure k-anonymity without exposing sensitive data. Your application hashes the email and password pair, sends only a 5 or 6-character prefix, and checks matches locally against billions of breached records. This protects user privacy while preventing account takeover and credential stuffing.
