An analyst wants to uncover exposed data in hidden venues and gather information over time. Which approach most effectively achieves this without raising suspicion?
Reach out to moderators in underground groups to inquire about data leaks
Work with site administrators to address identified theft indicators
Create and manage a believable profile that aligns with the culture of these hidden venues
Use specialized tools to map connections and identify hidden listings containing stolen data
Creating a realistic profile that fits the norms of these communities allows consistent access to content. Automated scans raise suspicions due to repeated queries, and openly contacting operators or moderators may prompt them to hide or move their channels altogether. Working with site administrators to remove suspicious content can cause criminals to adapt their tactics, reducing future visibility.
