About Threat Times

Threat Times is an independent publication, online since 2026, with 9 sections (Vulnerabilities, Cyber Attacks, Data Breaches, Malware & Ransomware, Threat Intelligence, Cloud Security, AI, Privacy & Policy, Tech News) and a readership of security and technology professionals.

“Bits, bytes and breaking security news” is the idea behind the site: report what a primary source has confirmed, say what is still unknown, and tell readers what they can do.

Where our reporting comes from

The newsroom follows more than 150 sources, and the fastest of them are checked every 45 seconds. They include government advisories such as the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, the National Vulnerability Database, the CVE Program, vendor security bulletins and first-hand research. When we rely on another outlet's reporting, we name it and link to it.

How stories are produced

Stories are drafted with AI assistance from the listed sources. Software then compares each draft with those sources and rejects figures, quotations, severity ratings and patch claims they do not support. Every article ends with its source list and shows when it was published and updated.

Guides

Alongside the news, Threat Times publishes 68 reference guides. Guides cover the ideas behind the headlines in plain language and show the date they were last reviewed.
