Threat Feed 3.0

A large, additive release. The front-end roughly tripled with no removed user-facing features, and the realtime backend never moved.

v2.0v3.0· public release notes
§01 Investigation

Interactive Investigation Toolbox new

2.0 only had automatic inline enrichment that decorated threat cards. 3.0 keeps that and adds a set of on-demand investigation tools - none of the underlying tool renderers existed in 2.0. Confirmed tools and their stated purpose:

  • Domain Lookup - RDAP / WHOIS + live threat reputation
  • DNS Lookup - A / AAAA / MX / NS / TXT records via DNS-over-HTTPS
  • IP Lookup - RDAP allocation + live threat reputation
  • Reverse IP Lookup - other hosts on the same address
  • ASN Lookup - network / BGP allocation
  • Subdomain enumeration - discover hostnames under a target domain
  • Certificate Transparency - issued-certificate history from CT logs
  • CVE Lookup - full CVE detail with CWE references; includes a CVE gauge / ring visual
  • Hash Lookup - file-hash reputation against malware-sample and sandbox sources
  • IOC Lookup - generic indicator triage
  • Email Auth - SPF / DKIM / DMARC / MX checks
  • Reputation Check - threat-exchange pulses + IP abuse reputation + malware / phishing scan
  • Breach Intel - public breach-notification datasets
  • Credential Leak Search - email / username against public leak datasets
  • Infostealer Check - stealer-log & combolist captures by email, username, or domain
  • Brand Protect Lookup - lookalike-domain / typosquat detection
  • Security News, Threat Intelligence Report, Backup, and Quick Filters & Views

Supporting infrastructure: tabbed tool panels, inline IOC rows with copy actions, gauges / rings / sparklines, and result caching.

§02 Enrichment

Expanded enrichment & new data sources

Enrichment that already shipped in 2.0 (registration / WHOIS, malicious-URL scanning, IOC feeds, stealer-log lookups, screenshots, and TTP tactics) was significantly expanded, and several new categories of external source were wired in. The additions break down by capability:

  • Certificate transparency - issued-certificate history for a host or domain.
  • Network & routing - ASN / BGP allocation and reverse-IP neighbours.
  • Internet exposure - open-port and service-exposure search.
  • Malware intelligence - file-hash reputation across sample repositories and a sandbox source.
  • Reputation & abuse - threat-exchange pulses and IP abuse scoring.
  • Breach & leak - account breach notification and credential-leak datasets.
  • Vulnerability data - CVE / CWE detail from public vulnerability databases.

Existing sources also saw heavy use growth, and a handful of capabilities are new from zero: malicious-URL feeds, internet-exposure search, breach / leak lookups, IP and domain reputation, and subdomain discovery.

§03 Workflow

Triage & verdict workflow new

A full per-threat triage system, persisted in dwi_triage_v1 and absent in 2.0:

  • Mark threats as Investigating, Dismissed, or Accepted with verdict pills (good / bad / neutral).
  • Live counters for investigating and dismissed items, with toggles to show or hide them.
  • Mute categories, with a persistent muted bar and one-click clear.
  • Verdict and evidence indicators (high / medium / low confidence).
§04 Organisation

Tagging, saved views & pivots new

  • Tagging - apply custom tags to threats, stored in dwi_threat_tags_v1.
  • Saved views - save and restore filter / search configurations (dwi-saved-views-v1).
  • Feed pivots & panel filters - pivot the feed by actor, category, or country and apply multi-facet panel filters.
§05 Export

Export overhaul

  • New export filter panel with facet combo-boxes for building precise export queries.
  • Live export count + quota shown before exporting, with reset-time formatting.
  • HTML threat report generation produces a standalone, shareable report, alongside the existing JSON / CSV / XML exports.
  • State backup & restore - export and re-import local bookmarks, tags, triage, and views.
§06 Cards

Source branding & card redesign

  • Per-source logos with monogram fallbacks and a brand-icon cache.
  • New inline card actions: bookmark, copy-URL, dismiss, and mute on each card.
  • Entry animations for newly arriving alerts.
§07 Correlation

Related threats, reposts & actor claims new

  • Related-threats and threat-summary sections inside the detail modal.
  • Repost detection flags near-duplicate / cross-posted alerts.
  • Actor-claim UI surfaces which actor is claiming an incident.
  • Watch terms matching for tracked keywords.
§08 Monitoring

Forum & source monitoring upgrades

  • Status-board monitoring new - polls an external uptime board, detects up / down state, pushes notification subscriptions, and drives a badge.
  • Forum-status redesign - a ring / donut status visualization, a new Evaluating status alongside up / onboarding / maintenance / degraded / down / paused / unmonitored, and a collapsible forum-status section (dwi:fs-collapsed).
§09 Charts

New & enhanced charts

  • Category Trend chart.
  • Month-over-month delta card.
  • CVE gauge / ring and abuse gauge visuals.
  • Trend signals with sparklines.
  • TTP / tactic display refreshed with new legend and bar styling; the underlying tactic data existed in 2.0.
§10 Interface

UI / UX additions

  • Custom timezone picker - a searchable dropdown replacing the native select, with a full bundled timezone list.
  • "New since last visit" banner with snooze (dwi_last_visit_v1, dwi_new_since_snooze_until).
  • Sidebar / rail - a collapsible left rail is injected; the bookmarks button moves into the rail and quick-stats merge into the header. Collapse state persists (dwi_sb_collapsed, dwi-sb-pinned).
  • Bookmarks now persist under dwi_bookmarks_v1; notification history under dwi_notification_history_v1 with prefs bumped to v2.
  • Defang / refang - IOCs are defanged when copied or exported (e.g. hxxp://, [.]) for safer sharing, with a copy-defanged action.
  • Screenshot capture + OCR findings expanded.
§11 Privacy

Privacy & consent new

A consent banner with Accept / Decline, persisted in dwi_consent_v1 and posted to a consent API. It gates external behavior - confirm exactly which third-party lookups are blocked until consent is given. This matters for the public launch.
