Cyber Layer

The 2021 Pegasus-targeting of Tamil nationalists and Periyarist activists made this non-theoretical. TLTE itself is a plausible target. This page is our public statement of how we defend the platform — and how we route at-risk individuals to people equipped to help.

1 · What TLTE follows ourselves

  • NCSC Cyber Essentials

    UK National Cyber Security Centre baseline certification. The recognised UK government starting line for civil-society organisations.

2 · Who we route at-risk individuals to — never us

If you are an individual at risk, please go to one of these bodies directly. They are equipped. We are not — and broadcasting op-sec content on our own site would itself be a risk surface.

    Open ↗
  • Citizen Lab — Security Planner & direct outreach

    Organisational planning and forensic capability for suspected spyware targeting.
