Credits

Special thanks to Whoxy for providing domain intelligence that strengthens our detections. We also integrate data from ransomware.live to provide information about Canadian organizations affected by ransomware attacks. We link to external resources such as VirusTotal and urlscan.io so you can investigate domains with their tooling when needed.
