Survived It is the world's first anonymous cyber incident sharing community, built by TeraDef. Hospitals, schools, NGOs, nonprofits, and human rights organizations share real cyberattack survival stories — ransomware response, phishing recovery, data breach containment. What happened, what worked, what didn't. Free forever.
Survived It was built for the organizations that need cybersecurity help most and receive it least. Hospitals and clinics facing ransomware with no IT team. Schools and universities hit by phishing campaigns. NGOs and nonprofits dealing with data breaches. Human rights defenders, activists, and journalists targeted by state-sponsored attackers. Security researchers in the Global South navigating threats with zero budget. If your organization survived a cyberattack — or is trying to prepare for one — Survived It is for you.
The platform is especially focused on organizations in Africa, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East where formal cybersecurity support is often unavailable or unaffordable. When one organization survives, everyone gets stronger.
Share your cyber incident anonymously. You appear only as your sector and country — like "Hospital in Nigeria" or "School in India." No personal names, no organization names, ever. Your identity stays protected so you can share honestly about what happened and what you learned.
Every story helps another organization prepare, respond, and recover from ransomware attacks, phishing campaigns, data breaches, supply chain compromises, and other cyber threats. The collective intelligence grows with every submission. Browse real survival stories, learn from organizations like yours, and contribute your own experience to the global resilience network.
TeraDef believes cybersecurity protection should be accessible to everyone, regardless of budget. Survived It is free forever for NGOs, hospitals, schools, and nonprofits. No credit card required, no premium tier, no catch. This commitment is non-negotiable and locked by design. TeraDef operates as the Red Cross for cyber incidents — providing emergency-level support to vulnerable organizations worldwide at no cost.
Survived It covers the full spectrum of cyber threats: ransomware attacks and recovery, business email compromise (BEC), phishing and spear-phishing campaigns, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, data breaches and unauthorized access, insider threats, supply chain attacks, social engineering, malware and trojan infections, and account takeovers. Every incident type is valuable — even failed attacks teach defenders what to watch for.
