Posture summary

Software versions inside a published affected range (1, 1 known-exploited)

The public response carried a version for these products, and NVD publishes an affected range that contains it. This is not proof the software is unpatched — a distribution backport keeps the original version string while carrying the fix, so a fully patched build can appear here. Both halves of the comparison are public and checkable.

Ransomware leak-site listings (1)

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.

Leak-site postings are collected here from 2026-07-30 onwards; an earlier listing would not appear above.

Public attack surface (281 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 (32 registered of 78 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.

1 of these were registered in the last 90 days, 1 of them able to receive mail. A registration that recent is the strongest public signal of intent there is: such names are usually registered days before they are used.

29 further registered lookalike(s), 20 of them able to receive mail. The full list, with mail capability for each, is part of the complete audit.

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 DKIM

  No DKIM record was found on common selectors. Enable DKIM signing.

• mediumEnable DNSSEC

  DNSSEC signing was not detected for this domain.

• criticalConfirm software versions that fall inside a published affected range

  The public response carried a version for 8 detected product(s), and 1 published CVE range contains what we read. Nginx 1.24.0 falls inside the range published as affected by CVE-2023-44487 (>= 1.9.5 and <= 1.25.2). 1 is on CISA's known-exploited list, meaning exploitation has been observed in the wild. This is an observation about a version string, not proof the software is unpatched: a distribution backport keeps the original version while carrying the fix. Check the build you are actually running, and patch or upgrade whatever is genuinely inside the range.

• criticalTreat data published on a leak site as disclosed

  This domain is named on thegentlemen's public leak site on 2026-09-07. 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 10 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 2026-02-08. Most commonly RedLine. Force a reset for the affected services, invalidate active sessions, and check the devices themselves.

• mediumStrengthen password requirements

  72% of the exposed employee passwords analysed rate as weak or very weak. Raise minimum length and screen new passwords against breach lists.

• criticalNewly registered lookalike domains

  1 lookalike domain(s) were registered in the last 90 days, 1 of them able to receive mail: metromail.net (56d). A registration this recent is the strongest public signal of intent there is — brand-new names are what invoice fraud and credential phishing are staged from, and they are usually registered days before they are used. Ownership and intent are not assessed here; the registration date is a registry fact. Report any that impersonate you to the registrar, warn finance and staff, and consider defensive registrations.

• highMonitor lookalike domains

  20 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 — registered, silent and already able to accept a reply. A name in that state is typically pointed at something only when it is about to be used, so it is worth watching before anything appears on it. Monitor them and consider defensive registrations.

• mediumReview the public subdomain footprint

  281 hostnames for this domain appear in public Certificate Transparency logs. Retire forgotten hosts — stale subdomains are a common entry point and a takeover risk.
