Why the list is short
Most of what these agencies publish is in the public domain, which means it can be restated freely. It is also where the facts start: the same warnings reach you later, secondhand, through news stories and social posts.
What we leave out
- News coverage of a government report. We open the report.
- Sites whose terms do not allow their warnings to be reused.
- Anything a security company publishes to sell a product.
