How they attack

Entry

Targeted phishing emails

Like a letter that seems to come from a colleague, with an envelope that springs a trap when opened.

Like opening a fake copy of the government help desk and asking staff to 're-register' their passes.

Goal

Long-term spying

Like leaving a tiny bug in the meeting room and listening in for months.

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.
