QWatchTM
Qintel actively monitors underground spaces where compromised credentials are collected, distributed, sold, and traded. These spaces include online credential dump sites, hacker collaboratives, and command and control infrastructures of eCrime- and APT- related malware.
Watching all the right spots
For over a decade Qintel has been collecting the exact type of breached data that eventually began to be weaponized by cyber criminal actors for credential checking & stuffing.
Unlike other companies or services that suddenly appeared in the wake of media attention surrounding database leaks and credential stuffing, Qintel had already begun building its QWatch business on top of its underground collection capabilities. This access routinely allows Qintel to obtain breached data before it becomes public, as opposed to scraping open forums and harvesting dated credentials.
QWatch was launched in early 2016 in response to client demand for exposed credentials with standardized, machine-consumable formatting. Qintel invested in the development of proprietary password cracking technology and techniques to dehash passwords as effectively as attackers.
The service includes data harvested from malware in addition to breached databases and “combination lists” of emails and passwords.
Customers can leverage the QWatch data either through an alerting interface for specific email domain and address monitoring or by downloading the entire credential file to check against user credentials.
