Operators on call. Free, ethical cybersecurity help for anyone who needs it.
Adversarial Ops is a volunteer-led nonprofit. We support victims of cyber fraud, assist with incident triage, responsible takedown requests, and education—always legal, always human-first.
We never hack back. We coordinate lawful responses, work with platforms/ISPs/LE where appropriate, and protect your privacy.
Our mission
Make practical cybersecurity help accessible to anyone—regardless of background or ability to pay. We mobilize trained volunteers (“Operators”) to provide clear guidance, triage incidents, and reduce harm.
- Rapid, trauma‑aware support for victims of scams, account takeovers, doxxing, and data loss.
- Lawful disruption: abuse reports, takedown requests, and coordination with providers & CERTs.
- Education: practical guides, workshops, and 1:1 hygiene tune‑ups.

We file abuse reports, work with platforms/hosts/registrars, and escalate to CERTs/LE where appropriate.
Education & prevention
Workshops, checklists, and 1:1 hardening to reduce future risk.

Do you hack back or take down sites yourselves?
No. We never conduct illegal activity. We coordinate lawful reports and work through proper channels.
Is it really free?
Yes. We are volunteer‑run. If you’re able, you can donate to help us scale operations (coming soon).
How do you protect my data?
We only collect necessary details to assist you, store them securely, and delete them when no longer needed.
