Capability architecture
Know the source before you trust the claim.
Coverage by community, seller credibility and account histories give every listing the context an analyst needs to decide what the evidence can actually support.
01Why it matters
- A listing is a claim by a seller with a reputation to protect or to fake. Its credibility depends on who posted it and how they have behaved.
- Coverage gaps are invisible unless coverage is measured — a quiet week can mean nothing happened or nothing was collected.
- Engaging with actors to verify a claim creates legal, ethical and operational risk.
02ThreatCanary approach
- Governed connectors collect from forums, markets, leak sites, Telegram and Discord communities, preserving each post with source metadata and capture time.
- Observed accounts are tracked over time so a claim can be read against its author’s history.
- No reply farming, messaging, negotiation, purchases or transactions. Where a source hides content behind a fixed action, that action is scripted, limited, logged and approved in advance.
03What you see
- Source streams, posts and observed accounts, with the collection pulse and coverage by community type.
- Seller credibility and account histories that show how a claim’s author has behaved over time.
- The underground activity feeding your Live Intelligence and alerts.
04Evidence produced
