BackBox Labs Launches: Cybersecurity Company from the Open Source Ecosystem

/in

The BackBox.org Team is proud to announce the launch of BackBox Labs, a new company dedicated to delivering professional ethical hacking services and advanced cybersecurity solutions built on the experience, knowledge, and technologies developed throughout the BackBox ecosystem.

Since its beginnings in Italy in 2010 as a community-driven Ubuntu-based penetration testing distribution, BackBox has grown into a globally recognized reference point for security professionals, researchers, and ethical hackers. This strong open source heritage remains at the heart of everything we do.

While BackBox.org continues its mission as a community-driven open source project, BackBox Labs has been created as a separate company with the goal of delivering enterprise-grade cybersecurity services, research, and innovative solutions to organizations worldwide, while maintaining a strong connection to the open source values that shaped its origins.

At the center of this new initiative is BackBox AI, formerly known as Xfenser AI. BackBox AI will become the flagship product and technology platform of BackBox Labs, designed to address the growing complexity of modern cybersecurity through automation, artificial intelligence, and scalable ethical hacking capabilities.

It is important to emphasize that BackBox.org will continue to operate independently as a community-driven open source project, maintaining and evolving the free BackBox Linux distribution. The community remains a fundamental pillar of the ecosystem and will continue to drive the project through collaboration, transparency, and open innovation.

BackBox Labs will actively support and strengthen this community by contributing resources, research, and technologies that help make cybersecurity more accessible, efficient, and impactful.

With the launch of BackBox Labs and the continued evolution of BackBox.org, the BackBox ecosystem reinforces its long-term vision: combining open source innovation, cybersecurity research, and professional services to help build a future where digital security is more intelligent, scalable, and inclusive.

Supporting Victims of the Lykke Exchange Shutdown: A New Initiative for Legal Action and Asset Recovery

/in

BackBox.org is launching a dedicated platform to assist victims of the Lykke Exchange incident, a presupposed hacker attack that occurred in June 2024 and resulted in the loss of approximately 20 million Swiss francs. This initiative focuses on helping affected users navigate the aftermath of the platform’s closure and the failure to reimburse customers for their lost assets.

Our mission is to provide guidance, connect victims with legal professionals, and support technical investigations. Legal actions will be directed at those who may hold responsibility for the platform’s abrupt shutdown and the lack of compensation for users.

If you have been affected by this incident or are interested in supporting the cause, we invite you to become part of our community. By joining, you’ll gain access to valuable resources, expert support, and collective efforts aimed at holding those responsible accountable. Together, we can pursue justice and strive for the recovery of lost assets.
