What Threat Intelligence Actually Is

380,235 vulnerabilities have been published. 1,670 are confirmed to be exploited in the wild — about one in 228. Telling those apart is the whole discipline, and one number makes the point better than any definition.

Signed Is Not the Same as Traceable

Every package npm serves carries a registry signature, so 100% of our dependencies look verified. Only 10.8% of the ones that ship to users can prove which commit they were built from — and our development tools, which never leave a laptop, score 57.9%.

Most of an AI Attack Is an Ordinary Attack

MITRE's AI threat matrix, ATLAS, shares 13 of its 16 tactics with classical ATT&CK. Only two are genuinely new — and just 12.4% of its techniques sit under them. Seven-eighths of your AI security problem is the security problem you already had.

OpenAI Will Put You in ChatGPT for Teens Without Asking

Can a Tool Directory Tell You Your AI Act Risk Tier?

We tried to tier all 1,370 entries in our own AI directory against the EU AI Act. A keyword scan gave 42 hits, 26 of them wrong in three distinct ways — and none of the survivors could be tiered anyway.
