How they attack

Entry

VPNs without multi-factor authentication

Like finding a back door that opens with a single key, then using a stolen or guessed one.

Entry

Emails pretending to be someone you know

Like a letter from a 'colleague' with an envelope that springs a trap when opened.

Inside

Blending in with built-in tools

Like a burglar who brings no tools and uses only what is already in the house, so nothing looks out of place.

Goal

Double extortion: encrypt and leak

Like locking your safe and also taking copies of the papers inside, threatening to publish them unless you pay.

Disclosed personal data leaks

Attributions are quoted as assessed by governments and security vendors. VulnPulse does not make attributions itself.

Leak counts only add up figures disclosed by the affected companies or authorities, never the attackers' own claims. We do not list victim names or link to leak sites.

The alert level is calculated automatically from reports and advisories in the last 90 days, known exploited vulnerabilities, and whether the group has targeted Japan.
