What we do

ransomware disclosure, activity tracking & more

Ransomware Events Tracking

We monitor and jot down public claims made by threat actors, verifying their credibility. The data is then enriched and aggregated to provide a structured, up-to-date view of ransomware activity, supporting analysis, prevention, and response efforts.

Reports and Insights

We compile RedACT and RedACTinsights, free resources offering rigorously verified, data-driven reporting on ransomware activity and threat actors. Each edition distills complex intelligence into clear, structured insights, built to inform, and always grounded in verifiable evidence.

Open Source Threat Intel

We conduct deep OSINT and SOCMINT investigations to extract, verify, and contextualize threat actor claims and more. Turning open data and social signals into structured intelligence for proactive defense and strategic awareness.

Technical Data Support

We support organizations and institutions with tailored ransomware intelligence reports, sector-specific, data-driven, and designed to inform strategic decisions and strengthen cyber resilience.

Threat Landscape Briefings

We deliver curated threat landscape briefings, sector-specific, timely, and actionable. Each brief considers actual ransomware trends and scenarios, group activity, and vulnerabilities relevant to any organization.

Awareness

We raise awareness around invisible exposure: how our digital habits, overlooked traces, and public signals can silently map our vulnerabilities. Understanding what we reveal is the first step toward reclaiming control in an increasingly transparent world.
