We understand that receiving that type of message might be puzzling, and that is why we want to provide you with a clear understanding of why you received this notification from us.
Our Unmatched Visibility
Engaging in threat intelligence research is an inseparable part of our daily work. We at PRODAFT currently monitor nearly 90% of all high-end cybercrime groups across the globe. Given the nature of our work, it comes as no surprise that many times we come across riveting pieces of evidence implying potential compromise.
Time is everything
When a scenario like this occurs, our priority is to inform the affected companies as soon as possible. In many cases, timely reaction plays an essential role as threat actors can operate on an incredibly fast timeline, meaning that some breaches can take place only a few hours after we detected the possibility for the first time.
We inform, you decide
We are not deciding based on the size of your organization. Whether you are large or small, whether you are an existing customer or not, we want to help you. We believe that first-class cybersecurity without additional hassle is meant for everyone. Aiding in this process by informing and protecting our community is our uttermost responsibility.
WHY YOU RECEIVED OUR EARLY WARNING NOTIFICATION ?
If we reached out to you, it means we found an important matter that deserves your attention.
We strongly support collaborative initiatives that strengthen organizations’ defenses and effectively combat cyber threats.
We actively monitor over 700 threat actor groups and promptly alert our clients through our platforms. In the case of potential breaches outside our client base, we collaborate with law enforcement (serving as advisors to EUROPOL's Internet Security Group) and CERTs to provide early notifications.
In certain cases, we also make direct contact with the affected parties.
Forging a stronger digital landscape means no gatekeeping but sharing intelligence-led information instead.

Final note
When we notify the affected parties, the responses range from denial and scepticism to suspicion, shock, or mere gratitude. We understand that it might come as a surprise to get such a notification out of the blue. Every company has a different capacity for their cybersecurity, and that’s okay.
Being confused or sceptical is a natural reaction. You might be wondering, why would we want to help you?
As we mentioned above, our commitment to a resilient cyber community is wired in our DNA. Our continuous collaboration with law enforcement and cybersecurity agencies shows us the difference a well-informed and proactive approach makes. In today’s interconnected networks and business ecosystems, we witnessed one thing over and over again: if one party is compromised, more will follow. And that’s exactly what we want to prevent from happening - if you let us explain!
