As an IT Director, I have a responsibility to make sure we all take cyber security seriously and this really has helped build awareness within the business. Off the back of this I delivered a presentation to our users, who now have a really great foundational understanding of the types of open-source information that can be out there.

what exactly is your digital fooTprint?

A digital footprint, sometimes called a digital shadow, refers to the data trail you leave behind when you’re online. The data collected is vast and much of it, you won’t even know about. It can include information about the websites you’ve visited, your social media presence and, crucially any data that’s been leaked onto the dark web.

what’s included?

Reconnaissance mapping

The first phase of every digital footprint review is to understand the subject or target. Our team search open-source information for anything considered sensitive, personal, or specific to the individual or business which could be exploited. This mimics the initial recon stage performed by malicious actors, identifying targets for exploitation and avenues of information gathering.

Social Media Review

Social media content provides a versatile means of gathering information on an individual. Emails, phone numbers, friend lists, check-in locations, photographs… a multitude of avenues are available to be exploited if a user is not careful. We have adopted a risk-based analysis process and provide all clients with a report on potentially risky information.

Passive information review

Passive information gathering focuses on collecting information archived on systems not located within a local network. During the information-gathering phase, a variety of searches are conducted, which can include information that is not necessarily related to the target. This includes information found in search engines, archival sites and personal websites.

Leaked credential review

Data breaches occur regularly and often result in millions of individuals having their credentials and other information leaked, often without their knowledge. These credentials can be posted online and sold to the highest bidder or used by those who conceptualised and completed the data breach for malicious gain.
Stripe OLT employs a discrete toolset to help us identify credentials that have been previously leaked as part of a data breach.
