C6 Fraud Intelligence

Due to massive advances in technology, electronic fraud is becoming an ever-increasing threat. We combat the criminals who are constantly using new technology to improve their ability to conduct fraudulent activity, by gathering data for our own very unique database which contains 400 million records.

We constantly disclose personal information every time we join a website, buy something online and link with friends. When we submit our name, address, email or credit card details we increase our chance of being the victim of ID fraud.

As criminals become increasingly sophisticated so must our information gathering techniques. Other identity security organisations use spidering technology, which only captures the compromised IDs once they have been used and released onto the Worldwide Web by criminals. But we believe early detection is the key to minimising exposure and the consequences of identity theft.

We gather data by penetrating the dark web by knowing where to look and what to look for. We know where to look and what to look for. Our cutting-edge technology and constantly evolving collection techniques allow us to stay abreast of the technological advances of criminals, keeping us at the forefront of the fight against cybercrime.

Our unique database includes over 400 million records of individual and corporations currently being sold or offered for sale in the last three years. It is growing by an average of 300,000 records a day.

The most powerful part of our ID fraud prevention is our ability to find the risk while the criminal is still building a profile, alerting you early and significantly reducing your exposure
