Rapid7 is discontinuing the public AttackerKB platform on August 18, as part of a strategy to consolidate its vulnerability intelligence and research resources. The AttackerKB website will no longer be available as a standalone resource, but users can still access Rapid7's vulnerability intelligence through alternative channels, including the Rapid7 blog and the revamped Rapid7 Vulnerability and Exploit Database. This change aims to unify Rapid7's security research and analysis capabilities, providing a more streamlined experience for security practitioners, researchers, and vulnerability managers. The AttackerKB API will also be impacted, with users required to transition to new resources for vulnerability intelligence1. This shift matters to security professionals because it affects their access to critical vulnerability data and analysis, requiring them to adapt to new sources and interfaces for staying informed about emerging threats.
