History
The firm was founded in 2011 as Cyber Squared Inc. by Adam Vincent, Richard Barger, Andrew Pendergast and Leigh Reichel.[2] They renamed to ThreatConnect after their series A funding of $4 million in 2014,[3][4] and in December 2015 obtained series B funding of $16 million.[5]
The company gained attention when it linked the Anthem medical data breach to Chinese government-sponsored entities.[6] According to cybercrime expert Brian Krebs, ThreatConnect identified domains used by the group that were intentionally similar to legitimate domains used by Anthem.[7]
They also linked Guccifer 2.0, responsible for the 2016 Democratic National Committee email leak, to the Russian-backed cyberespionage group Fancy Bear.[8][9] Further cyberattacks they attributed to Fancy Bear include against a group investigating the Malaysia Airlines 17 crash,[10] and the World Anti-Doping Agency who had recently issued a report about state-sponsored doping.[11]
In September 2020, ThreatConnect acquired Virginia-based software company Nehemiah Security.[12]
In October 2025, Dataminr announced plans to acquire ThreatConnect for $290 million in cash and equity.[13]
