Q> What sources does DarkLedger query during a probe?

A> We cross-reference over 312 curated threat repositories: darknet credential aggregations (Collection #1, COMB, RedLine Stealer logs), public breach indices, DNSBL spam relays (Spamhaus ZEN, AbuseIPDB, SORBS), and carrier telephone dump registries.

Q> Do you log or record my search queries?

A> No. Identifiers are transformed in-memory into SHA-256 cryptographic hashes. We never store search history correlated with your IP address or legal identity.

Q> Why are payments strictly in cryptocurrency?

A> Credit card networks and fiat processors force KYC data collection, billing names, and banking coordinates. Crypto ensures completely anonymous settlement on-chain.

Q> How does the $4.99 one-time unlock work?

A> When an invoice confirms on the blockchain, your specific scan ID is permanently unsealed, revealing full breach source titles, leaked password classes, and remediation guides.

Q> What is the REMOVE MY DATA / suppression feature?

A> Under GDPR Article 17, subscribers can register their identifiers into our cryptographic suppression matrix. Once added, the identifier is purged from monitored databases and returns a permanent suppression status on future public scans.

Q> How often does the automated monitoring cron run?

A> The monitoring cron sweeps all active subscriber identities weekly (every Sunday 00:00 UTC). If an identifier appears in a newly indexed dump, an alert is written to your dashboard feed immediately.

Q> Can anyone else see my dossier?

A> Never. Full unlocked dossiers are strictly tied to the invoice session or the authenticated subscriber vault key.

Q> What if my invoice expires before confirmation?

A> Invoices have a 15-minute countdown window. If your on-chain transaction is broadcast within the window, the webhook will automatically recognize the confirmation once mined.
