Threat Simplified is committed to accuracy, transparency, and responsible cybersecurity journalism. Our editorial policy defines how content is researched, verified, and published to maintain the trust of our readers and the integrity of our reporting.
All content is reviewed for factual accuracy before publication. We rely on official vendor advisories, public security bulletins, NIST NVD data, and reputable open-source intelligence. Where AI-assisted drafting tools are used, all facts and wording are verified by a human editor before publishing.
We prioritize clarity and accessibility while avoiding exaggerated or fear-based framing. If an error or outdated statement is identified, it is corrected as quickly as possible with a clear update note when applicable.
Some contributors publish under pseudonyms to safeguard their personal privacy or professional security. This is a common and accepted practice in cybersecurity reporting. Regardless of name attribution, every submission follows the same editorial review, accuracy checks, and publishing standards.
Our editorial team operates independently from advertisers and sponsors. Advertisements and sponsored content do not influence article selection, tone, or conclusions. Sponsored material, when present, is always clearly labeled in accordance with our Advertising Policy.
We welcome feedback, clarifications, and correction requests. To report an inaccuracy or request a factual update, please email [email protected]. Requests are reviewed by editorial staff within five business days.
Verified law enforcement or regulatory bodies may also reach us via [email protected] for time-sensitive or legal matters. We reserve the right to confirm the authenticity of official communications.
Contributors must disclose any financial, personal, or professional affiliations that could influence coverage. We do not accept gifts, compensation, or incentives in exchange for favorable coverage.
