This is the description of one of Hudson Rock's main products, "Bayonet".
"Imagine getting access to a lead-generation platform featuring hundreds of thousands of compromised companies around the world with active vulnerabilities that you can convert into customers."
I've seen and dealt with a couple of these types of companies. It's a pretty sleazy tactic, and it's low skill/effort from a technical point of view as well.
- clwg 2y agoDoing some more digging, this is where the data is sourced "Hudson Rock acquires and purchases compromised data directly from top-tier threat actors operating in closed circle hacking groups. What sets our data apart is its quality in providing high accessibility to hacker groups looking for potential targets, and the speed in which we make it available to clients compared to other threat intelligence companies. Our operational knowhow, and our boots-on-the-ground approach to cybercrime originates from the IDF's 8200 Cybercrime division, and its efforts to thwart nation-state adversaries and professional threat actors." https://cavalier.hudsonrock.com/docs https://cavalier.hudsonrock.com/docs This would imply that they are financially engaging with and supporting cyber criminals.

- jolj 2y agoCare to explain how a conflict between two national groups that are indigenous to the same land is similar to a racial system of segregation including beaches and restrooms, based on race theory with different racial classifications? Or are you using a word that describes something different just because it evokes negative emotions?

- jolj 2y agoNSO wasn't founded by 8200 alumni, however companies such as the following were: * Checkpoint * Palo Alto Networks * Waze * Wiz * Cybereason Does your theory hold up? no, but why not generalize
- senderista 2y agoThey've supposedly founded >1K companies, so easy to cherry-pick for any desired conclusion, but point taken.
- vasco 2y agoThat screenshot where the attacker agrees that buying their services would help makes me have a very strong suspicion this attack is either faked, sponsored by or in some way Hudson Rock is in cahoots with the attackers. That screenshot is a pure 100% advertisement manufactured by Hudson Rock one way or another. As they usually say.. I'd check whoever is running Hudson Rock's hard drive.

- throwaway290 2y agoThe original HN link redirects to this company's home page now, so the blog post was likely an ad campaign to get traffic.
- supriyo-biswas 2y agoThis is the point where the company's domain should get banned.
