About The Cyber Times
The Short Version
Independent cybersecurity publication. Real threats. Real context. No spin.
What We Do
Cybersecurity news is broken.
Too technical to read. Too shallow to trust. Too influenced by vendors to believe.
The Cyber Times exists to fix that.
We report on real vulnerabilities, active exploits, and cybercrime campaigns—then explain why they actually matter. No recycled press releases. No hype. No filler.
If it's on The Cyber Times, it's there for a reason.

Why We Exist
Cyber threats move fast.
Misinformation moves faster.
Most security news is either unreadable or unreliable. We bridge that gap—translating complex incidents into clear intelligence without losing technical depth.
Our Sources
Every article is built from primary sources. We do not rewrite press releases.
NVD / NIST
National Vulnerability Database — official CVE severity scores and technical details
CISA KEV
Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog — confirmed active exploitation in the wild
Vendor Advisories
Microsoft, Google, Apple, Cisco, and others — direct security bulletins
VirusTotal / Shodan
Malware samples, IOCs, and internet exposure data
The Hacker News / BleepingComputer
Cross-referenced for breaking threat coverage
Mandiant, CrowdStrike, Recorded Future
Threat actor attribution and campaign intelligence
Our Editorial Process
We verify before we publish. Every article goes through the same process.
- 1. Identify
We monitor CVE feeds, vendor advisories, CISA KEV, and threat intelligence platforms daily for new high-severity disclosures.
- 2. Verify
Before publishing, we cross-reference the vulnerability against the NVD entry, vendor advisory, and at least one independent security research source.
- 3. Assess impact
We determine who is actually affected — not just who theoretically could be — and verify the CVSS score against real-world exploitability.
- 4. Write plain English
Technical accuracy stays intact. We strip jargon and vendor marketing language, keeping only what you need to understand the threat and act on it.
- 5. Include remediation
Every article includes concrete steps: what to patch, what version to update to, what to disable as a workaround if no patch exists.
