For any organization, whether non-profit, for profit or governmental, there are some announcements that you never want to have to make – especially in public. When your mission is all about helping others, it can sometimes be hard to ask for help yourself. But after 15 successful years, which have taken us from infosec volunteers to becoming the Internet’s premier provider of free daily cyber security information, The Shadowserver Foundation today finds itself in an unexpected and difficult situation.

We have always tried to be open and transparent about the way we operate, which is why so many people worldwide have come to trust us and depend on our free, public benefit services. Given the circumstances and timescales involved, we are going to continue to be honest about our situation here too. In doing so, we sincerely hope that like-minded members of our global community and the constituents who have, over the years, gained the most from our public benefit services will be able to successfully come together and help us overcome a potentially existential challenge.

The Shadowserver Foundation urgently needs your financial support, to help quickly move our data center to a new location and continue being able to operate our public benefit services.
