The Digital Threat Landscape Has Changed
In today’s interconnected world, digital threats move in shadows. Sophisticated spyware masquerades as legitimate applications. Phishing campaigns target activists and journalists with surgical precision. Disinformation spreads faster than wildfire, distorting truth and sowing division.
These aren’t random attacks… they’re coordinated campaigns that disproportionately target Muslim individuals, communities, and organizations worldwide. From surveillance software deployed against civil rights groups to state-sponsored phishing operations targeting diaspora communities, the digital battleground demands a unified response.
Introducing El-D: Where Cyber Defense Meets Justice
El-D is a voluntary global initiative uniting cybersecurity professionals, researchers, and advocates in a mission to investigate, expose, and counter digital threats targeting Muslim communities and causes.

Our Core Principles
Investigation Over Assumption: We follow the evidence, document methodically, and verify rigorously.
Transparency Over Secrecy: Our findings are shared openly to benefit the broader security community.
