About Cipher Insider

Cipher Insider is an independent news site launched in 2026. It reports on 6 sections: Privacy & Policy, Data Breaches, Threat Intelligence, Vulnerabilities, Cyber Attacks, Malware & Ransomware. It is written for students and people entering security.

Our motto is “Cybersecurity news without the noise”. In practice that means a story is published when a primary source confirms it, and it says plainly what is known and what is not.

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, Cipher Insider publishes 123 reference guides. The guides explain how attacks and defences work, carry no invented statistics, and are reviewed when the facts change.
