Hudson Rock

Hudson Rock Limited is an Israeli cybersecurity company headquartered in Tel Aviv. Established in 2020 by Alon Gal and Roi Carthy, the company focuses on cybercrime intelligence, with particular specialization in information-stealing malware, commonly known as infostealers. These malware families can extract credentials, cookies, personal information, and other sensitive data from compromised devices. Hudson Rock analyzes this type of criminally obtained information to identify exposed organizations, investigate breaches, and support threat-intelligence and infrastructure-security work. The company became publicly associated with reporting on large-scale data exposures and cybercrime activity. Its research has identified or discussed breaches and compromised information connected with organizations including Facebook, Twitter, Airbus, Telefónica, Samsung Electronics, and Jaguar Land Rover. Such reporting places Hudson Rock within the broader threat-intelligence market, where cybersecurity firms monitor underground activity and stolen-data ecosystems to help organizations understand whether their employees, customers, or digital assets have been exposed. Hudson Rock’s public profile has been shaped primarily by security research and breach disclosures rather than by a large consumer software portfolio. The available reference material does not establish a detailed list of commercial product names, pricing, ownership structure, or public-company status. It does, however, characterize the company as an operator focused on infostealer intelligence and cybercrime analysis. In 2024, Hudson Rock removed a report concerning Snowflake after legal pressure, an episode that illustrates the legal and evidentiary sensitivities surrounding the publication of breach-related intelligence. The company’s positioning is that of a specialist cybersecurity intelligence provider rather than a general-purpose information-technology vendor. Its work is relevant to organizations assessing credential exposure, monitoring cybercriminal activity, investigating suspected compromises, and protecting internet-facing infrastructure. Publicly available material is limited regarding its present organizational scale, executive team beyond its co-founders, geographic reach, and current product catalog.

Hudson Rock is an Israeli cybersecurity company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Tel Aviv. It was co-founded by Alon Gal, who had previously worked in Unit 8200 of the Israel Defense Forces, and Roi Carthy, described in the available reference material as a technology-industry businessman. The company developed its public identity around cybercrime intelligence and the analysis of infostealer malware. Infostealers are malicious programs designed to collect valuable information from infected computers. Depending on the malware family and the configuration of the criminal operation, that information may include account credentials, browser cookies, personal details, and other data that can be used for account takeover, fraud, extortion, or further intrusion. Hudson Rock’s specialization places it in a part of the cybersecurity industry that combines malware research, breach intelligence, underground-market monitoring, and exposure assessment. The company has received attention for identifying data breaches and compromised information connected with prominent organizations. The organizations named in the available reference include Facebook, Twitter, Airbus, Telefónica, Samsung Electronics, and Jaguar Land Rover. These disclosures illustrate the type of intelligence Hudson Rock has publicly associated with its work: connecting stolen or exposed data with affected companies and making cybercrime activity more visible to security professionals and the broader public. Hudson Rock’s available public history contains little information about formal corporate expansion, acquisitions, financing, revenue, or a broad branded product portfolio. Its public-facing reputation instead rests largely on research and reporting concerning infostealers, stolen credentials, and corporate exposure. This makes the company distinct from endpoint-security vendors that primarily sell a mass-market security application; Hudson Rock is better understood as a specialized intelligence and research organization serving cybersecurity investigations and organizational risk assessment. A notable later episode occurred in 2024, when Hudson Rock removed a report about Snowflake after legal pressure. The incident demonstrates a recurring challenge for cybersecurity intelligence firms: publishing breach-related findings can involve uncertain attribution, sensitive personal information, commercial interests, and potential legal disputes. The available material does not provide further detail about the legal claims, the parties’ final positions, or whether the report was subsequently republished. Beyond these documented points, publicly available reference material does not establish Hudson Rock’s current executive structure, ownership, commercial product names, customer base, or precise international operating footprint. Those aspects therefore remain undocumented in this dossier.
