Security research for internet-facing systems.
ChainBreach is an independent security research organization focused on finding and responsibly reporting publicly exposed systems on the internet. We work with organizations to help them understand and fix real-world exposure risks — before they are exploited.
If you received a message from ChainBreach, it most likely concerns a specific URL on your infrastructure that appeared to expose configuration files or other sensitive material. We are writing only to notify you, so the exposure can be closed.
When you reply, please reference the hostname or URL from our message. We're glad to provide additional context, re-check a fix, or correct a false positive. There is nothing to pay and nothing to sign.
We identify internet-facing misconfigurations — such as publicly accessible environment files, debug endpoints, and other sensitive paths — and notify the organizations that operate those systems.
Our goal is practical risk reduction, not publicity or exploitation. The exposure of one organization is rarely an isolated event; we study how these systems are discovered and abused in the wild, including by automated credential-harvesting operations.
We report the public URL and the nature of the exposure. We do not publish, sell, or misuse credentials.
Outreach is aimed at security, IT, or appropriate public contact channels — never at causing alarm.
Our checks are limited to what is already publicly reachable, for example standard HTTP verification.
We're happy to provide additional context, re-check fixes, or adjust our reporting if something is a false positive.
Not law enforcementWe hold no authority and make no legal claims.
Not a bug-bounty platformThere is no program to enroll in and no portal to log into.
Not an extortion serviceWe never demand payment. There is no fee, ever.
Not affiliated with your vendorsUnless explicitly stated in our message to you.
For responses to a specific report, reference the hostname or URL from our message. If you believe a finding is incorrect, tell us — we will re-check.
