A list of 114 cybersecurity team names written by Wheel of Teams on 2026-10-02 and filed in five groups. Every name is built on a word of security work: a firewall, a patch, a key, a log, a red team, a flag or a phishing test. None reads as a threat, none was taken from a hacking group, a piece of malware, a breach, a company, a product, an agency or a contest, and any match with a real team is a coincidence. The words were looked up on 2026-10-02 in Wikipedia's Computer security, Capture the flag (cybersecurity), Red team, Zero-day vulnerability, Firewall (computing), Phishing and Penetration test articles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_security and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capture_the_flag_(cybersecurity) lead to the rest), text under CC BY-SA 4.0.
