Live Threat Map — Real-Time Cyber Attacks

Threatstealth Live Threat Map

Watch cyber attacks unfold in real time. The Threatstealth live threat map visualises active attacks across the globe by attack type, source country, and target geography — updated continuously.

• Real-time attack visualisation — DDoS, ransomware, phishing, credential stuffing, and more
• Source and target geography — attack origin countries and targeted sectors
• Attack type breakdown — layer-7 application attacks, network scanning, exploit attempts
• Integrated IOC feed — click any attack to see associated indicators of compromise

How the Live Threat Map Works: Data Sources and Update Frequency

The Threatstealth live threat map draws data from multiple real-time threat intelligence sources including honeypot networks, commercial IP reputation feeds, partner telemetry sharing agreements, and the Threatstealth platform sensor network. Each attack event is geolocated using authoritative IP-to-country databases, classified by attack type using a normalised taxonomy, and enriched with threat actor attribution where available through OSINT correlation. The map updates on a rolling five-minute cycle with individual high-severity events surfaced in near real time as they are detected and classified. Historical attack data is retained for 30 days, allowing analysts to observe campaign patterns and temporal attack clustering.

• Honeypot telemetry — attack data from distributed honeypot sensors detecting scanning and exploitation attempts
• Commercial feed integration — IP reputation and attack intelligence from nine vetted commercial threat intelligence sources
• IP geolocation accuracy — authoritative geolocation databases with country-level and ISP attribution for attack origins
• Attack taxonomy — standardised classification across 12 attack categories for consistent cross-source normalisation
• Historical retention — 30-day attack history enabling campaign pattern analysis and temporal clustering observation

Reading the Threat Map: Attack Types, Sectors, and Attribution

The live map presents attack data across three primary dimensions: attack type (the method used), source geography (where the attack originates), and target sector (the industry being targeted). Understanding these dimensions together is more valuable than any single dimension alone. A spike in SQL injection attacks originating from Eastern Europe targeting financial institutions, for example, provides more actionable context than simply knowing SQL injection volume increased. Attribution overlays, when available, show which known threat actor groups are associated with observed attack patterns based on infrastructure fingerprinting, TTP alignment, and historical campaign data.

• Attack type layers — DDoS, credential stuffing, SQL injection, XSS, ransomware delivery, phishing, and exploit attempts
• Source country heatmap — attack volume by origin country with drill-down to specific IP ranges and ASNs
• Target sector breakdown — attacked industries ranked by attack volume and attack type distribution
• Threat actor overlays — known group attribution displayed when attack infrastructure matches known actor profiles
• Campaign clustering — related attacks grouped into campaign clusters to reveal coordinated threat activity

Using the Threat Map for Proactive Defence and Prioritisation

Security teams can use the live threat map as a leading indicator for their own defensive priorities. If the map shows a sharp increase in exploitation attempts against a specific vulnerability class targeting organisations in your sector, that is a signal to validate that your WAF rules cover the attack pattern and that your asset inventory includes the affected software. The map's sector filter enables industry-specific monitoring — a healthcare organisation can filter to see attacks targeting healthcare specifically and cross-reference those patterns against their own WAF and EDR alert queues to determine whether similar attacks are being directed at them.

• Sector-specific monitoring — filtering the map by industry vertical to track attacks relevant to your organisation's profile
• Vulnerability class correlation — identifying exploitation waves that may require immediate WAF rule or detection updates
• IOC extraction — clicking any map event to retrieve associated indicators for immediate defensive deployment
• Threat actor watch — monitoring known groups' attack activity for intelligence relevant to your threat model
• Alert queue correlation — cross-referencing map patterns against your own WAF and EDR alerts for attack validation

Threat Map Integration with the Threatstealth Security Platform

The live threat map is fully integrated with the other Threatstealth security modules, enabling one-click pivots from any map event into the IOC feed, CVE tracker, ransomware tracker, and detection rule library. When a map event is associated with a known CVE, clicking the event surface the vulnerability in the CVE tracker with current KEV status and EPSS score. When an event is associated with a known ransomware group, clicking surfaces that group's profile in the ransomware tracker including recent victims and MITRE ATT&CK-mapped TTPs. This integration eliminates the context-switching that normally separates threat intelligence consumption from defensive action.

• One-click IOC pivot — extracting indicators from any map event directly into the IOC feed for defensive deployment
• CVE tracker link — clicking exploit events surfaces associated CVEs with KEV status and EPSS priority scores
• Ransomware group pivot — linking map events to group profiles with victim lists and ATT&CK TTP mappings
• Detection rule recommendations — map events trigger suggestions for SIEM detection rules covering observed attack patterns
• Platform alert correlation — highlighting whether attacks shown on the map match alerts in your own security console
