This site exists to organize the public research on advertising-enabled mercenary spyware into a navigable, cross-referenced technical system. Its competitive value is not in reproducing original investigations but in connecting research, malware, companies, infrastructure, CVEs, campaigns, IOCs, defensive guidance, timelines, and terminology into one knowledge graph.
