Cybercriminal activity is only growing. A recent report claims that the global annual cost of cybercrime is predicted to reach $8 trillion by the end of 2023. This massive number is not only an indication that the number of cyber attacks is extending but also their sophistication.
Already over the past few years, the number of cyber attacks (especially ransomware attacks), compromised assets, and traded illicit listings has significantly increased. In this post, we’ll discuss the trends, threats, and reasons why dark web monitoring is key to protecting every business.
In the first quarter of 2023, there were an estimated 1.2 million dark web transactions related to cybercrime, with an estimated worth of $10 billion. One of the emerging trends of the past year is the use of trading platforms.

But tracking deep and dark web sources remains top of the mind for any threat intelligence activity. Monitoring the dark web is essential for organizations that want to protect themselves from cyber threats. By monitoring the dark web, organizations can identify and respond to threats before they materialize. This can help to prevent data breaches, financial losses, and other negative consequences.
Some of the main advantages are:
