- Readers tracking publicly reported infrastructure and defense-industry threats
- Worth noticing
- The site says locations are matched in the browser and never sent or saved; mapped dots mark reported cities or installations, not exact addresses.
Field notes
Events are organized by date, sector, type, and reported threat level, with list and map views and filters for time period and geography. The near-a-place tool matches a city, town, or ZIP code against selected site categories in the browser; the page says location input is not transmitted or stored. Its notes caution that monthly history before Oct. 21, 2026 was researched as backfill and should not be read as a trend.
