💣 You’re Not Being Targeted – You’re Being Indexed
Attackers don’t “target” most companies.
They crawl, scan, and index public exposures like a search engine.
If something you forgot is exposed – they’ll find it.
AUMINT’s €1,500 Attack Surface Report uncovers:
• Public-facing assets tied to your domain
• Exposed employee data or credentials
• Forgotten environments still live
This is what you don’t see in your dashboards.
🧭 If Google can find it, so can a threat actor.
