ACID Intelligence Benefits
Tailored threat detection
Keywords are defined individually for each client and are translated into multiple languages. The keywords can be easily amended, and new ones added as needed.
The intended target is provided with the most accurate and comprehensive details of an impending cyber attack. Additional information about the attack is provided as it becomes available, to enable optimizing the organization’s countermeasures, foiling it or minimizing the harm potentially arising from it.
Wide coverage
ACID continuously monitors a broad scope of sources and platforms for optimal threat detection: dark web; deep web; paste tools; dumpsites; leak sites; social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, VK, Weibo; and chats: IRC webchat, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp and WeChat.
ACID unleashes its clusters of robots and employs advanced AI algorithms to detect potential threats in emails and domain names, credit card data and banking information, cyber operations, intellectual property, key personnel, and much more.
When a wide array of cyber threat sources are continuously tracked, the risks of an attack by cybercriminals are greatly reduced.
Actionable advance alerts
ACID Intelligence provides you with detailed alerts at the first hint of a threat, which are generated by its cluster of robots that utilize performance-enhancing AI algorithms to comprehensively monitor a myriad of clear, dark, and deep web sources. These robots enable us to deliver the information you need to defeat the threat or minimize its impact.
The great advantage of this AI-enabled advanced alerting feature is that it enables you to be proactive in dealing with the threats that can penetrate your organization’s systems and hack into private accounts.
Real-time alerts
Alerts are displayed on a centralized dashboard immediately upon detection of any suspicious activity or direct threat, with all available information. As the perpetrators continue planning their attack, more data is collected, and the client organizaton is immediately notified of the newly acquired information. Updates are also sent in real-time by email and through the client’s SIEM system or can be retrieved via API.
Real-time alerts benefit the client organization by allowing it to optimize its response – implement the most effective tools to counter the threat, based on continuously updated, precise information, and fine-tune its response for maximum effectiveness.

Furthermore, its continuous monitoring enables it to update its alerts in real time, adding new information – cyber intelligence – as it becomes available, and increasing the effectiveness of the countermeasures taken.
ACID Technologies provides web intelligence services to companies and organizations operating in a wide variety of sectors and industries, including banking and finance, healthcare, education, transportation, state and local government, retail, and others.
ACID’s 24/7/365 dark web monitoring enables gathering valuable dark web intelligence and alerting to threats in real time. The monitoring is meticulously and specifically tailored for each client as regards keywords and languages, in order to yield optimal results and actionable intelligence. Once a threat is detected, the targeted organization is immediately alerted and provided with all available details, to enable it to effectively respond. Additional intelligence is provided as it becomes available, enabling to fine-tune the response. By implementing targeted countermeasures, the organization can reduce the harmful consequences of the attack – be they disruption to operation, loss of business, payment of heavy regulatory fines, loss of clients, reputational damage, or other. When the threat detected is an attack that is still in its planning stage, it can potentially be thwarted altogether.

Which threat actors operate on the dark web?
The dark web is the preferred arena for various individuals and groups with malicious intentions. These include:
- Skilled hackers – who are known to sell or buy sensitive stolen data on the dark net. They operate either individually, or form groups and collaborate. Stolen data may include credentials, personally identifiable information (PII), medical records, credit card information, trade secrets and much more. The hackers also seek information about detected vulnerabilities and advanced cybercrime tools which they can exploit, or offer their hacking services.
- Organized crime groups – these can be formidable cybercriminals with sufficient resources at their disposal to perpetrate complex attacks with the potential of causing significant harm.
- Script kiddies – who are learning to operate in the world of cybercrime, and most often access the dark web to acquire knowledge and familiarize themselves with hacking tools.
What are some recent examples of sensitive data detected on the dark web?
When sensitive data is detected on the dark net, it indicates that an attack has taken place – one that the victim might still be unaware of. Also, when the perpetrators of ransomware attacks are unable to collect ransom from the organization that they had attacked, they have been known to dump the stolen data on the dark web. For example:
- A ransomware attack carried out in August 2024 targeted the city of Columbus, OH, USA, involved the theft of more than 3 TB of data, including sensitive personal files. When the city refused to pay the ransom, and after two failed auction attempts, Rhysida, the group behind the attack, dumped the data on the dark web.
- In October 2023, the British Library was the victim of a ransomware attack, in which about 600 GB of data were exfiltrated, including personal data of library staff and users. Here as well, the target of the attack refused to pay the ransom and the stolen data was dumped on the dark web.
Why is dark web intelligence important, and how is it useful?
Dark web intelligence is a valuable tool in the countering attacks targeting organizations. It provides actionable details on attacks that are being planned or launched, allowing the targeted organization to proactively respond, take effective action to thwart the attack or mitigate its consequences.
Additionally, organizations are not always aware that their systems have been breached and incur serious harm which could have been prevented. Stolen data offered for sale on the dark web, or dumped for all to access free of charge when no buyer has been found, indicates that a breach has taken place. Such dark web intelligence is therefore extremely important – not only in order to close the security gap and prevent further harm, but also to analyze how much data, and which types of data, have been compromised.
What makes ACID's dark web intelligence solutions so effective?
ACID’s advanced dark web intelligence solutions enable organizations to avoid or mitigate financial loss, service disruption, harm to reputation and loss of clientele, as well as to avoid payment of noncompliance fees, by providing detailed information on attacks being planned, attacks that are in progress, and those that have already taken place.
ACID deploys clusters of robots and uses sophisticated AI algorithms to monitor the dark web using client-specific keywords. The languages relevant to the client organization are also taken into consideration in order to optimize the monitoring results. In addition to 24/7/365 monitoring of the dark web, ACID continuously monitors the deep web, paste tools, dump sites, leak sites, and social media – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, VK, and Weibo; and chats – IRC web chat, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp and WeChat, to greatly increase coverage.
Upon detection of the first hint of a threat, the client receives an alert in real-time, together with all available information. This actionable intelligence enables the intended victim to take immediate, targeted action and thus reduce the harmful consequences of the attack or, if given early enough, even foil it.
Direct and indirect financial losses, which are measurable, can be severe, but in many cases are surmountable. In contrast, harm to reputation is much harder to quantify, and often accumulates over time, as more and more current and potential customers and clients become aware that the organization has been breached, resulting in irreparable loss of trust. For some companies, this is a fatal blow. This is what ACID’s solution was developed to prevent.
