Welcome to DBD. On March 8th 2026, DBD celebrated it's sixth anniversary and PRiSM celebrated it's third anniversary. Both projects have made a huge impact on my life and I'd like to thank each and everyone of you who have supported me, with special thanks to those individuals and communities who have helped me build up my knowledge on cybercrime and ransomware over the years. Thanks again for all your continued support. Stay safe. :)


“Data Breaches Digest and its PRiSM portal provide Dentons Global Security Team with valuable insights into the ransomware landscape, from the latest incidents to trends over time, as well as the ability to customize visual analytics. Timely reports and tracking by Data Breaches Digest help inform cyber intelligence for the world’s largest law firm and thus our cybersecurity posture across more than 80 countries worldwide.”
