Understanding IPQualityScore API Capabilities: Maximize Fraud Protection

The Dark Web API provides visibility into a database of leaked data, giving developers the ability to search and query this information in a structured format. This enables the development of sophisticated threat intelligence solutions that can identify malicious activity within the Dark Web, such as the sale of stolen credentials.

By leveraging the Dark Web API, users can receive searches with a variety of selectors, including email address, domain, ICANN registrant, cryptocurrency addresses, BIN, IPs and more. When a search is executed, the system returns a result that includes a list of potential breaches in which those selectors have been compromised and any associated information (e.g., hashed or plain text passwords). This data can then be compared to the existing databases of an organization to detect any unusual activity. This allows for real-time response to potential threats, which can be logged in the service provider’s incident ticketing system.
