Swiss cybersecurity firm Prodaft has launched a new initiative called 'Sell your Source' where the company purchases verified and aged accounts on hacking forums to to spy on cybercriminals.
The goal is to use these accounts to infiltrate cybercrime spaces and communities, collecting valuable intelligence that could lead to the exposure of malicious operations and platforms.
"As a threat intelligence company, we specialize in obtaining visibility into the infrastructures of cybercriminals, searching for patterns, tactics, techniques, and procedures that help us understand adversarial networks and detect and mitigate potential cyberattacks," explains Prodaft.
"As these activities are routinely associated with places such as the deep and dark web, underground forums, or illicit marketplaces, we want to ensure our coverage does not hit any limitations."
