Is it legal to use this service?

Yes. The service monitors only publicly available sources. It does not download, store, or process files or content published by ransomware or APT groups. The system analyzes only event-related metadata and publication information, and sends alerts based on those signals.

Why pay for this if the information is publicly available?

Information is only valuable if you get it in time. While the data is technically accessible, continuously monitoring it requires expertise and resources. DarkEcho automates this process and delivers alerts when the information is still actionable.

What exactly does the system monitor?

The system monitors active ransomware leak sites and related sources. It does not provide general news or noisy threat feeds, only targeted monitoring of events that may directly impact your organization.

Can I monitor any domain?

Yes. You can monitor anything from top-level domains (TLDs) to specific domains and subdomains, depending on your needs.

In what format are alerts and reports delivered?

Alerts are delivered via email and integrations (Telegram, Discord, Signal). Reports are delivered in a structured format, ready for immediate use.

How quickly are alerts delivered after detection?

Alerts are delivered shortly after detection, based on the configured monitoring and notification frequency.

How often is the data source base updated?

Monitored sources are continuously expanded and maintained. New sources and updates are regularly integrated into the system while maintaining stability.

Do you store the processed data?

The system stores only event-related metadata and notification data. It does not download or store leaked files or their contents. All data is handled securely and is not shared with third parties.

How do you handle GDPR and data protection requirements?

The service stores only the domain names provided for monitoring and the necessary notification endpoints. It does not collect or process personal data from leaked content. Data processing is minimal, purpose-limited, and secured.

Why reports instead of an interactive platform?

Because you do not need another tool, you need answers. DarkEcho delivers processed, ready-to-use intelligence without requiring a platform or learning curve.
