# Aurora - Cyber Threat Intelligence These _indicators_ were reported, collected, and generated during the [VulDB CTI analysis](https://vuldb.com/?kb.cti) of the actor known as [Aurora](https://vuldb.com/?actor.aurora). The _activity monitoring_ correlates data from social media, forums, chat rooms, and darknet markets. It helps to determine associated actors, specific activities, expected intentions, emerging research, and ongoing attacks. Our unique _predictive model_ uses _big data_ to forecast activities and their characteristics. _Live data_ and more _analysis capabilities_ are available at [https://vuldb.com/?actor.aurora](https://vuldb.com/?actor.aurora) ## Countries These _countries_ are directly (e.g. origin of attacks) or indirectly (e.g. access by proxy) associated with Aurora: * [DE](https://vuldb.com/?country.de) * [US](https://vuldb.com/?country.us) * [RU](https://vuldb.com/?country.ru) * ... There are 11 more country items available. Please use our online service to access the data. ## IOC - Indicator of Compromise These _indicators of compromise_ (IOC) indicate associated network resources which are known to be part of research and attack activities of Aurora.
