Wappalyzer

Wappalyzer provides technographic data that details the technology stacks of websites, including information about server types and content management systems. The organisation offers dataset quotes to customers who need this information for market analysis or competitive research. Customers can place orders for the datasets after receiving a quote. Wappalyzer maintains continuous updates to its technographic datasets to ensure the information remains current. Its headquarters is located in Australia.

In January 2020, Wappalyzer disclosed a security breach in which an unauthorized party accessed an exposed database and stole technographic data, email addresses of roughly sixteen thousand customers who had requested dataset quotes, and billing addresses of those who had placed orders. The attacker attempted to monetize the stolen information by contacting affected users and offering the database for sale via Bitcoin. Wappalyzer characterized the compromised data as outdated and non‑sensitive, noting that no passwords or payment details were included. The organisation advised recipients to remain vigilant against suspicious communications. It emphasized that its practice of continuously updating datasets reduces the potential value of any exfiltrated information. No further details about ownership or parent‑subsidiary relationships are publicly available in the provided sources.
