The Cyber Exposure Score is a published 0–100 formula built only from publicly observable signals. How this is calculated.
This domain scores better than 45% of the 362 Technology organisations we track (cohort median 79). The sample is seeded from public incident data, not a random cross-section of the sector.
Trend: Credential risk down 23 since 2026-09-25 (30 days).

This domain is named on the public leak site of a ransomware group. A leak-site post is a claim published by the group — not a verified fact, and not a statement by this organization. Groups list victims who did not pay, overstate what they hold, and occasionally name the wrong company. What is certain is that the listing itself is public.
| Group | Listed | Sector |

Lookalike domains (3 registered of 112 checked)
Registered permutations of this domain. Existence is a fact, not an accusation — ownership and intent are not assessed. Those able to receive mail are the ones usable for invoice fraud and phishing. The Risk score (0–100) is a published formula weighing mail capability, registration age, spelling, what the homepage shows and phishing-feed hits, reduced when a name looks brand-owned (same registrar/nameservers, a redirect to this domain) or merely parked. How this is calculated.

criticalTreat data published on a leak site as disclosed
This domain is named on qilin's public leak site on 2026-09-18. A leak-site post is a claim published by the group, not a verified fact — but the post itself is public, and if it is accurate the data is already out. Confirm the claim, then work from the assumption of disclosure: rotate every credential that touched the affected systems, invalidate active sessions, and check your notification duties under GDPR Art. 33/34.
-
highReset credentials seen in infostealer logs
Public infostealer telemetry associates 1 employee credential set(s) with this domain — passwords captured from infected devices, which bypass password policy and often session-hijack past MFA. The most recent dates from 2026-07-25. Force a reset for the affected services, invalidate active sessions, and check the devices themselves.
