Why dark web monitoring matters
Breached data gets resold for years — Vigil shortens the window from months to hours.
When a company gets breached, your data doesn’t just disappear. It gets packaged into credential dumps and sold on dark web marketplaces. From there it’s repackaged into combo lists and traded across underground forums for months or years.
IBM’s 2023 Cost of a Data Breach report put the average time to identify and contain a breach at 277 days. During that window, attackers reuse your leaked passwords to reach your other accounts. They also steal your identity or resell your data to other criminals.
Vigil is built to shorten this window from months to hours. When your data shows up on the dark web, you find out fast — and you know what to do about it.
Beyond email-and-password
Pro and Executive watch phone numbers, national IDs, tax IDs, and financial data — including region-specific sources others miss.
Most breach monitoring services only check email and password combinations. Vigil Pro and Executive go deeper. They watch for phone numbers, national ID numbers, tax IDs, and financial data on dark web markets and paste sites.
That includes Aadhaar in India, Social Security numbers in the US, and national IDs across Europe. Vigil watches region-specific sources that single-market services miss.
Actionable, not just alarming
Every alert is a fix-it checklist — which password, which account, in what order — not a panic trigger.
A notification that says “your data was found in a breach” is useless without context. Vigil tells you which credentials leaked and which accounts use them. Then it tells you what steps to take, in what order, and how to prevent the next exposure.
Every alert is a fix-it checklist — not a panic trigger.
Vigil on Pro vs Vigil on Executive
Vigil on Pro ships with the Pro tier ($14.99/mo). It covers what most people need: dark web markets, stealer logs, password-breach checks, and lightweight social-impersonation detection. Weekly rescans, alerts typically within the hour.
Vigil on Executive ships with the Executive tier ($49.99/mo). It covers what attackers do when you’re the target, not part of a list. That means verified-profile onboarding, daily impersonation scans, targeted-mention monitoring on Telegram, Discord, and forums, domain typosquat detection, and concierge takedown. The feature cards above list every capability.
