ShadowTelemetry uses a source-led process to organize public cybersecurity reporting and publish defensive analysis.
Source selection
Preferred sources include vendor advisories, government and CERT publications, vulnerability databases, incident disclosures, established security researchers, and reputable journalism. Aggregated reports should retain a visible link to the originating publication whenever available.
Assessment approach
Analysis considers the reliability and recency of the source, affected products or sectors, exploitation evidence, likely impact, exposure, and practical mitigations. Labels such as severity, victim, attacker, industry, or geography may reflect source claims or automated extraction and are not necessarily independently verified.
Attribution standard
Threat-actor attribution is treated as an assessment, not a certainty, unless supported by authoritative evidence. Geographic references can indicate reporting, infrastructure, targeting, victims, or textual mentions; they should not automatically be interpreted as attacker origin.
Operational use
ShadowTelemetry is an informational resource, not a substitute for vendor advisories, professional incident response, legal advice, or an organization’s own risk assessment. Readers should validate indicators, versions, timelines, and mitigations before taking action.
