How they attack

Entry

Emails with a forged sender

Like a letter with a government office's name on the envelope but a postmark from somewhere else.

Entry

A link dressed up as an attachment

Like what looks like an enclosed document is really a claim ticket, and the parcel you collect hides a trap.

Goal

Collecting government information

Like leaving a listening device inside a government office to carry out information over time.

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.
