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 51% of the 72 Government organisations we track (cohort median 77). The sample is seeded from public incident data, not a random cross-section of the sector.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| qilin | 2026-10-19 | Government & Defense |
Leak-site postings are collected here from 2026-07-30 onwards; an earlier listing would not appear above.

Lookalike domains (38 registered of 80 checked, 3 serving no website)
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.
| Domain | Type | Mail-capable | Registered | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| gaarda.com | repetition | yes | 2024-01-31 (1002d) | 66 high |
| garda.app | tld | yes | 2022-08-20 (1531d) | 66 high |
| garda.xyz | tld | yes | 2022-03-31 (1673d) | 66 high |
35 further registered lookalike(s), 24 of them able to receive mail. The full list, with mail capability for each, is part of the complete audit.

criticalTreat data published on a leak site as disclosed
This domain is named on qilin's public leak site on 2026-10-19. 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.
-
criticalReset credentials seen in infostealer logs
Public infostealer telemetry associates 47 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 2026-07-10. Most commonly RedLine. Force a reset for the affected services, invalidate active sessions, and check the devices themselves.
-
mediumReview third-party credential exposure
48 credential set(s) for third-party services used by this domain appear in the same telemetry. Supplier and SaaS accounts are a common lateral path.
-
highMonitor lookalike domains
24 registered lookalike domain(s) can receive mail, which is what makes them usable for invoice fraud and credential phishing. 2 of those serve no website at all but can already receive mail, so a reply sent to them would be delivered although nothing is visible in a browser. With no website there is nothing to inspect, so watch for DNS or web changes rather than treating them as harmless. Monitor them and consider defensive registrations.
