Flare raises $30M to thwart info-stealers like those used on Snowflake customers


Threat exposure management startup Flare thinks it has an answer to info-stealers with a service that watches the dark web, resets passwords.

This service watches for signs on the dark web that its customers’ logins are being circulated and then automatically resets the impacted passwords before the thieves can gain access. Telegram’s founder, Pavel Durov, was arrested in late August and later released on a €5 million bail in France, charged with running a company complicit in distributing child sexual abuse material and facilitating drug trafficking and organized fraud. “Built for the SMB and mid market, Flare looks outside of the perimeter into enemy territory where these organized cyber criminals are talking, engaging, transacting business,” Kong told TechCrunch.
