Where beautiful stories meet the darkest code.

GhibliSecurity is a visual storytelling project that reimagines the world’s most notorious cyber intrusions as illustrated narratives — told in a style inspired by Studio Ghibli.

From stealth backdoors to global surveillance malware, every story we feature is more than just a breach — it’s a tale of trust broken, technology turned weapon, and silence that spoke volumes.

Why this format?

We’ve read the technical writeups. We’ve followed the headlines. But we wanted to feel the story.

• What does a zero-click exploit feel like?
• How does a supply chain attack ripple through the world?
• What happens when your phone becomes a spy?

GhibliSecurity is an attempt to answer those questions — not just with logs and code, but with characters, color, and emotion.

Who’s behind this?

Just a security researcher who wanted to play with an idea… and accidentally found this universe.
