These stories are real, but the details are redacted. The names? You’ll never know them. What we can share is how we uncovered the threats no one else could see, and why a constant, relentless attack is the best defense against today’s cyber threats.
Hi-vis jackets, a clipboard, and a story about counting sockets. That's all it took for a tailgating attack to bypass reception, reach the C-suite, and walk out with a corporate laptop, completely unchallenged.
A GitHub token, posted in Slack and left unrotated for over a year, gave us complete control over the organisation's software supply chain, from proprietary code to every downstream build.
A year-long business email compromise campaign built entirely on AI social engineering: lookalike domains, a fabricated authority figure, and patient trust-building. No malware, no exploits, just an inbox and the words "this is approved."
No spoofed domain, no fake IT support call, just a contact form and a Business Development Director doing his job. A spear phishing attack that used the target's own sales process as the entry point, and a session hijacking payload most phishing write-ups never cover.
Two VMs, one rule: don't get caught. We tunnelled in through an overlooked port, found cleartext credentials, and used pass-the-hash to compromise nearly every device in the subnet, undetected.
A LinkedIn post celebrating a charity partnership gave an attacker everything needed for a convincing spear phishing example, a name, a role, a cause worth trusting. No tools, no infrastructure, just public information the target shared proudly.
A single vishing call was enough. We talked our way past an MSP's help desk identity checks and added our own MFA device with a fabricated pretext. The compromise ran undetected for a full 15-hour shift.
We plugged a device into their network with nothing. No credentials, no map, no inside knowledge. Five days later, we had domain admin, and no alert had ever fired.
