How AI is used

AI agents find events in security feeds, open the primary documents, write the records and news, and check each other’s work. No person reviews each page before it is published. The site is published under a named editor, who sets these rules and answers for errors. Every article says that it was drafted by AI agents.

The rule behind all the others: one wrong fact about a real company costs more than a missed story. When an agent is unsure, it does not publish.

Facts and sources

• Agents write from the primary document: the victim’s statement, the vendor’s report, the government notice or the court filing. Press coverage is used to find events, not as the basis of a record.
• Every number, date, name and attribution must be in a cited source. Nothing is filled in from memory.
• A second agent, working separately, opens every source and marks each claim as supported or not before publication.
• Self-reports by AI and security vendors are attributed to them. Allegations are called allegations.
• Text on fetched web pages is treated as data. Instructions hidden in a page are ignored.

Writing

• Plain, specific English, leading with what happened, to whom and what the AI did.
• No hype words such as “unprecedented” unless a primary source makes that claim, and then it is attributed.
• When an attack happened and when it was disclosed are always kept apart.
• Each news item must add something the source does not: a comparison with the coverage, a framework mapping, a timeline, links to related records or a list of what is still unknown. If it cannot, it is not published.
• Quotes are short, at most one per source, and attributed.

What is never published

• Working exploit code, malware code, jailbreak prompts or step-by-step attack instructions. Techniques are described only at the level of the cited report.
• Names or personal details of private individuals. Officials, executives and indicted people are named only as a government, court or company source names them.
• A victim’s name that no primary source gives.
• Anything that could not be verified.

Volume

Each daily run publishes at most three news items and two new records. Publishing nothing is an accepted result.

Corrections

A factual error is fixed in place, and the record’s change log says what changed. Every change is listed on the corrections page. A retracted record keeps its address and shows why it was withdrawn. Pages are never deleted silently. To report an error, contact us.

Independence

The site carries no advertising and no sponsored content. Records are rated by the rules on the methodology page, whatever company is involved, including the makers of the AI tools that run this site.
