How we cover

News you can act on, guides you can finish, sources you can check.

1. Primary sources

Vendor advisories, CISA alerts, court filings, and researcher writeups — linked, not laundered. If a claim traces only to a viral post, we say so or spike it.

2. Action-first reporting

Every story answers "what do I do" before "what happened." Breach news ships with the response checklist; vulnerability news ships with the patch path.

3. No fear farming

Severity is stated plainly with who is actually affected. A critical enterprise bug is not written as a threat to your phone, and "could" never headlines as "does."

4. Dated everything

News carries dates, guides carry updated dates, and superseded advice is corrected visibly. Security guidance rots fast; freshness is a feature we maintain.

5. Independence

No vendor pays for coverage or placement. Security-tool links are plain links unless a relationship exists and is labeled in our disclosure.
