# Whiteintel > Whiteintel is a dark web intelligence and monitoring platform that tracks threat actors and their activity across hacker forums, Telegram channels, and criminal marketplaces. It monitors 15,000+ threat actors and 120,000+ recorded dark web events — data sales, initial-access-broker listings, ransomware activity, infostealer logs, leaked credentials, compromised payment cards, and brand mentions — making it one of the largest dark web intelligence datasets available. Whiteintel also maintains one of the largest credential-leak and infostealer datasets sourced from the dark web, indexing billions of leaked records from infostealer logs, marketplaces, and breaches. Organizations use it to detect exposure before threat actors can act on it. Dark web intelligence at Whiteintel goes well beyond credential leaks — while still offering one of the deepest credential-exposure datasets available — because credential and stealer-log monitoring is one part of a broader platform that tracks the actors themselves and the full range of their activity. ## What Whiteintel Does Whiteintel continuously indexes hacker forums, Telegram channels, criminal marketplaces, infostealer log feeds, and breach databases — one of the largest dark web intelligence datasets available, covering 15,000+ tracked threat actors, 120,000+ recorded dark web events, and billions of leaked credential and infostealer records. Organizations use it to: - Track threat actors and their activity across the dark web, with a directory of 15,000+ actors including aliases, venues, and history - Monitor 120,000+ recorded dark web events: data-for-sale posts, initial-access-broker listings, ransomware and extortion activity, and stealer-log releases - Search the dark web by keyword, brand name, domain, country-specific attacks, or categorized attack catalogs - Detect when employee or customer credentials appear in stealer logs or breach databases - Monitor for corporate data and brand mentions appearing on dark web forums and Telegram channels - Track compromised payment cards and BINs surfacing in carding shops - Identify exposed secrets in public code repositories and look-alike phishing domains - Receive early warning before attacks materialize ## Platform - [Platform Overview](https://whiteintel.io/platform-overview) - [Account Takeover Prevention](https://whiteintel.io/ato-prevention) - [Enterprise Protection](https://whiteintel.io/enterprise-protection) -
