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 14% of the 456 Manufacturing organisations we track (cohort median 78). 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 | 2026-10-30 | Manufacturing |
Leak-site postings are collected here from 2026-07-30 onwards; an earlier listing would not appear above.

Public attack surface (4 hostnames in Certificate Transparency)
Hostnames this organization published in public TLS certificates. Passive OSINT — nothing was scanned; a wildcard certificate is in use, so the real footprint may be larger.
The hostname inventory — which forgotten hosts exist and where — is part of the complete audit for this domain.
Lookalike domains (3 registered of 97 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.
1 of these were registered in the last 90 days, 1 of them able to receive mail. Recent registration is a risk indicator, not evidence of intent: many lookalikes are defensive registrations, unrelated businesses or parked inventory.

Recommendations
-
highEnforce DMARC
No enforcing DMARC policy was observed. Publish a DMARC record and move to p=quarantine then p=reject to reduce spoofing.
-
mediumEnable DNSSEC
DNSSEC signing was not detected for this domain.
-
highEnable valid HTTPS
No valid TLS was observed on port 443.
-
criticalTreat data published on a leak site as disclosed
This domain is named on qilin's public leak site on 2026-10-30. 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 3 employee credential set(s) with this domain — passwords captured from infected devices, which bypass password policy and often session-hijack past MFA. Force a reset for the affected services, invalidate active sessions, and check the devices themselves.
-
mediumReview third-party credential exposure
82 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.
-
criticalNewly registered lookalike domains
1 lookalike domain(s) were registered in the last 90 days, 1 of them able to receive mail: honghwa.com (31d). Recent registration is one brand-risk indicator among several — with name similarity, mail capability and live web content — and together they describe what a name is able to do, not who registered it or why: many lookalikes are defensive registrations, unrelated businesses or parked inventory. The registration date is a registry fact; ownership and intent are not assessed. Check these against your own registrations, report any that impersonate you to the registrar, warn finance and staff about payment-change requests, and consider defensive registrations.
-
highMonitor lookalike domains
2 registered lookalike domain(s) can receive mail, which is what makes them usable for invoice fraud and credential phishing. Monitor them and consider defensive registrations.
-
lowTurn on the registrar transfer lock
The registry shows no transfer lock on this domain. Most registrars offer it free, and it stops the name being moved away without an extra step.
-
highGet a full security audit
Multiple exposures were detected. A professional audit can prioritize remediation.
