About Sabotage Watch

Documenting hybrid warfare threats through transparent, data-driven OSINT analysis.

Our Mission

Sabotage Watch is dedicated to documenting and analyzing sabotage incidents using Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) methods. Our mission is to raise public awareness about the growing threats posed by adversaries engaging in hybrid warfare against Western nations and their allies.

By collecting, verifying, and visualizing incidents of sabotage, cyberattacks, infrastructure damage, and other hybrid threats, we provide researchers, policymakers, journalists, and the public with accessible, transparent data about these emerging security challenges.

What is Hybrid Warfare?

Hybrid warfare combines conventional military force with unconventional methods—cyberattacks, disinformation, economic coercion, and sabotage—to destabilize adversaries below the threshold of armed conflict.

These "gray zone" tactics are difficult to detect, attribute, and counter, making transparent documentation essential.

Why This Matters

Our Methodology

1

Source Verification

Every incident links to credible, publicly available sources—news reports, government statements, and official investigations.

2

Geolocation

Incidents are mapped with precise coordinates when available, enabling spatial analysis of threat patterns.

3

Temporal Tracking

Each incident is timestamped to enable trend analysis and identification of escalation patterns.

4

Attribution

Where possible and supported by credible sources, we document suspected or confirmed perpetrators.

5

Continuous Updates

Our database is regularly updated as new incidents occur and additional information becomes available.
