HACKWIRE

Cybersecurity News, Decoded

HackWire is an independent cybersecurity news aggregator built for security professionals, IT teams, and anyone who needs to stay ahead of the threat landscape without wading through jargon, marketing speak, or vendor press releases.

Our Mission

The cybersecurity information landscape is fragmented, vendor-polluted, and often optimized for search engines rather than actual human understanding. HackWire exists to cut through that noise.

We synthesize reporting from dozens of primary sources — government advisories, threat intelligence vendors, independent researchers, and investigative journalists — into clear, actionable news articles. Every story is categorized, severity-rated, and written with context that makes it immediately useful to practitioners.

What We Cover

🔴Breaches

Data breaches, unauthorized access, stolen records

🟡Vulnerabilities

CVEs, zero-days, patch advisories, exploit releases

🟣Malware

New malware families, infostealers, APT campaigns

Ransomware

Ransomware groups, victims, TTPs, ransom demands

🔵Policy

Regulation, government action, legislation, compliance

🟢Tools

New security tools, open source releases, research tooling

Editorial

Andy Arevalo

Editor-in-Chief

Operations Manager at Lake Nona Medical Services and the editorial decision-maker behind HackWire's coverage scope, source mix, and severity rubric. Articles are synthesized from the credited primary sources listed below; HackWire's editorial value is in the curation, severity classification, and practitioner-focused contextualization.

Editorial policy

  • Every article links back to its primary source(s); we do not re-publish original reporting without attribution.
  • Severity ratings (CRITICAL / HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW) are applied consistently per the rubric documented internally; we never amplify severity for engagement.
  • No vendor sponsorship, no paid placement, no affiliate links on news articles.
  • Corrections are issued in-place with a dated correction note appended; we do not silently edit history.
