Question for the InfoSec Community
I've been exploring platforms like Intelligence X, where you can search for a domain or email and get results from leaked databases (sometimes in cleartext).
I'm curious — from where do such platforms gather this data?
Do they:
1. Monitor breach forums (like BreachForums)?
2. Pull from dark web marketplaces?
3. Scrape from paste sites (e.g., Pastebin)?
4. Use public dumps shared on GitHub, Telegram, or other leak sites?
Or something else entirely?
If there is any available links or PDFs to learn deeper please drop in the comments, I would like to explore more.
Would love to hear insights on what data sources are commonly used by tools like Intelligence X, DeHashed, Scylla, LeakCheck, etc.
