Secunia.com isn't dead—it's a digital ghost town. The domain still resolves, but the traffic is zero, the employees are gone, and the once-mighty vulnerability database has been absorbed into a corporate black hole. This is the story of how acquisition killed a security pioneer.

"Flexera didn't acquire Secunia for its traffic—they bought it to kill a competitor and bury its brand."

The tech stack tells its own story. jQuery, Bootstrap, Zendesk—these are tools of a live site, not a corpse. But with 0 monthly visits and no organic keywords, the infrastructure is maintained for compliance, not engagement. It's a digital mausoleum.

• Acquired by Flexera to eliminate competition in software compliance
• Traffic redirected, not terminated—strategic brand burial
• Revenue capped at $3.6M pre-acquisition, no growth trajectory
• Tech stack remains active but serves zero visitors
