2 names are covered by the program's own scope; 0 were first seen this week. Names come from ProjectDiscovery's public Chaos dataset (passive sources: certificate logs, DNS and other public data), matched to the program by its listing and its own domain scope. A name being in a dataset is not permission to test it: only what the program's own scope says is in scope, and its policy decides. CyberSIXT does not resolve, probe or scan these names. Tags come from the name alone. Source: ProjectDiscovery Chaos. Subdomains on the Atlas, or search the subdomains of every program.

A name in a dataset is not permission to test it: the program's own scope and rules decide. Data as of 2026-11-15.
