Paste & Forum Monitoring

Leaks, dumps, and chatter surface first on paste sites, forums, and Telegram channels. Searching them catches exposure the open web hasn't indexed.

Where to look

Paste aggregators — Pastebin and dozens of clones. Search them together via IntelX (
```
intelx.io
```
), PSBDMP, or Google dorks (
```
site:pastebin.com "target"
```
— see
```
google-dorking
```
).
Forums — breach/hacking forums and their mirrors; niche community forums relevant to the subject.
Telegram / Discord — many leaks distribute through channels; search via channel-indexing services and in-app search of known channels.
Dark web — Ahmia and IntelX index some
```
.onion
```
content; access only under authorization and proper OPSEC (
```
sockpuppet-opsec
```
).

Method

Search each source for exact selectors: email, username, domain, phone, full name in quotes.
Capture context — a paste may include the selector plus reused passwords, related accounts, or a real name to pivot on.
Note first-seen date; pastes are often deleted — screenshot and save the raw text immediately as evidence.
Set up recurring searches / IntelX alerts for ongoing monitoring.

Rules

Reading a public paste is OSINT; purchasing, soliciting, or using stolen credentials is not. Handle any personal data per ../../ETHICS.md, and pivot breach specifics through
