Underground forums and dark web marketplaces are increasingly used to sell stolen credentials, leaked code repositories, and API keys that could serve as entry points for supply-chain attacks. Security researchers can identify early warning signals of potential compromises by monitoring these channels for stolen development assets. Organizations relying on third-party software and dependencies face elevated risk when attackers obtain legitimate access credentials.

Why it matters in Western Canada: Western Canadian organizations across all sectors depend on software supply chains. Early detection of stolen credentials and leaked repositories can help prevent breaches affecting universities, government agencies, healthcare providers, and financial institutions throughout the region.
