Mentions

Other Mentions lists posts, listings, and messages that mention one of your monitored keywords, such as your organization's name or domain, on dark web forums, marketplaces, chat channels, paste sites, ransomware groups' sites, and similar sources. Each row is a finding of the type "Other Mention". Use it to see where your organization is discussed and where its data is offered.

Select "Company Protection" > "Data Leakage & Dark Web Detection" > "Mentions". The "Other Mentions" tab opens first, beside Breach Mentions.

Breach Mentions lists all your monitored domains and shows whether each one appears in the breach collection that StyxView tracks, the same collection as Cyber Insights Breaches. A "Breached" domain means your organization itself is listed as the victim of a breach. For your email addresses found in other organizations' breaches, see Compromised Accounts.

Select "Company Protection" > "Data Leakage & Dark Web Detection" > "Mentions", then the "Breach Mentions" tab. The "Data Breaches" card on the overview also opens it.

The "Breach Mentions" tab of "Mentions", listing each monitored domain with its breach status, domain type, and added date.

ColumnWhat it shows
"Domain"Your monitored domain.
"Status""Breached" (red) when the domain appears in at least one known breach. "No record found" (green) when it appears in none so far.
"Domain Type""Primary", "Secondary", or "Parked".

Domains have no workflow status and no "Actions" menu. To export the list, select the export icon, then "Download as CSV" or "Download as Excel".

Select a "Breached" row to open the breach record for the domain, titled "Breaches". Rows with "No record found" do not open. The record shows:

  • "Details": "Domain", "Company", "Industry", "Type", "Country", and "Ransomware Victim".
  • "Breach": "Attributes", "Records", "Size", "Breach Date", and "Added Date".
