Strange that OWL is admitting to purchasing stolen goods... but whatever, I guess DNM is the new "wild west" as the author puts it.
In a high-rise above downtown Denver, a group of elite cybersecurity technicians are hard at work combing through an unusual and unpredictable online underworld.
"We scrape the dark net," said Mark Turnage, CEO of OWL Cybersecurity. "We go into the dark net on a daily basis continuously."
OWL is a threat intelligence company that has developed an automated way to collect stolen data from this mysterious area of the web.
"We believe we have the largest dark net content database in the world," Turnage said.
When prime targets like big-box retailers, banks and insurance companies are breached, thieves post the data on the dark net only long enough for it to be sold.
But OWL swoops in, grabbing sensitive info before it vanishes.
Scraping in 49 languages, the Denver team identifies breaches from a diverse group of crooks and for a diverse group of clients. OWL's system even allows techs to search individual credit card numbers.

“We SCRAPE the dark net!!” says Mark Turnage, CEO of OWL Cybersecurity, as he wipes coke from the tip of his nose and vigorously sniffs the back of his hand. “We go INTO the dark net on a daily basis CONTINUOUSLY.”
