Sourcing

No fake sources or interviews

Articles may use original analysis, clearly attributed public documents, public statements, verified interviews, and direct observations that are accurately described. The site must not invent quotes, interviews, confidential sources, event access, or attendance.

Bylines

Use real, accountable authors

Personal bylines must reflect real people. Placeholder profiles are acceptable during development only when labeled as placeholders. A staff or editorial-desk byline should be used only if it reflects an actual editorial workflow.

Dating

No backdating

Posts should use their real publication date. Updates should be noted with a current updated date and a concise description of the material change.

Analysis

Separate analysis from reporting

Starter articles and opinionated frameworks must be labeled as analysis. Reported articles should identify the basis for reporting and avoid language such as exclusive unless the claim is true and documented.

Conflicts

Disclose business relationships

If the founder, publication, or related security-testing business has a consulting, advertising, sponsorship, vendor, or client relationship with a covered entity, disclose it clearly in the article or decline the assignment.

Safety

Do not publish operationally harmful detail

Coverage should avoid publishing sensitive security layouts, private protective routes, credential samples, unpatched vulnerabilities, or details that would materially weaken event safety.
