Dark web scanning for leaked credentials is a proactive cybersecurity measure that continuously monitors hidden areas of the internet for compromised data related to individuals or organizations. Early detection of exposed credentials allows for immediate remediation, such as password resets, to prevent account takeovers, financial fraud, and data breaches.
Dark web scanning services use a combination of automated tools to find mentions of your data on illicit platforms. Users can enter their sensitive credentials like Mobile number, email ID, credit card, etc., Credit Card etc and check if they are leaked in any Darkweb websites.
Alerts are generated, providing details about the compromised data (e.g., username, password, source of the leak) and recommended next steps. This helps in taking preventive steps against possible cyber attacks based on your credentials by using this intelligence to prioritize risks and respond effectively before the credentials can be weaponized by threat actors for credential stuffing or other attacks.
The Filters feature helps users manage and control incoming calls by automatically blocking unwanted, spam, and potentially harmful calls. When a user taps on Filters, they will see four filtering options designed to improve call safety and reduce disturbances.
Available Filter Options

Each option includes a toggle button on the right side, allowing users to turn the filter on or off anytime according to their preference.

Previous spam reports from users
Call activity patterns
Number of hang-ups and suspicious behavior
Spam markings in the database
Historical call records associated with the number.
Based on this analysis, the system determines whether a number is genuine, promotional, spam, or potentially fraudulent, and filters the call accordingly.
