ZERO-DAY SIEGE

DEFEND THE DATA CORE

The year is 2087. You are the last human Security Operator defending the Global Data Core. Malware is breaching the perimeter — viruses, worms, ransomware, phishing lures. Your pulse cannon is charged.
Neutralize every threat. Learn its weakness. Protect the Core.

🎯 HOW TO PLAY

  • AIM — move mouse, or just tap a threat
  • FIRE — click or tap
  • Don't spam — your cannon overheats
  • Threats that reach you breach the Core
  • Shoot green PATCHES to repair integrity
  • Shoot blue FIREWALLS for a breach shield
  • Shoot amber POLICIES to cool your cannon
  • Answer security quizzes between waves for bonuses

⚠ KNOW YOUR ENEMY

  • ● VIRUS — fast, fragile
  • ● WORM — slithers in numbers
  • ● TROJAN — tough, deceptive
  • ● PHISH — weaves in every direction
  • ● SPYWARE — cloaks; only hittable while visible
  • ● RANSOMWARE — armored, brutal breach
  • ● BOTNET — splits when destroyed
  • ● ZERO-DAY — glitches, then teleports
  • ● ROOTKIT — boss from wave 15: armored, shoots back

CORE BREACHED

📋 POST-INCIDENT BRIEFING — STAY SAFE OUT THERE

  • Use long, unique passphrases + a password manager
  • Turn on multi-factor authentication everywhere you can
  • Update software promptly — patches known vulnerabilities
  • Pause before you click — urgency is the attacker's weapon
  • Keep offline backups — ransomware can't encrypt what it can't reach
  • Verify unusual requests through a second channel
