About this feed

How The Wire works

Every 10 minutes we check 47 sources: vendor security advisories, CISA’s list of vulnerabilities that attackers are already using, the AI labs’ own announcements and changelogs, and established outlets like BleepingComputer, The Record, TechCrunch, and Ars Technica. Articles about the same event are grouped into one story, so a big patch day shows up once with all of its sources.

We don’t publish rumors. Leaks, anonymous-source reports, and “could launch soon” stories are filtered out before they reach this page. Headlines come from the sources and link straight to the originals. Read the source before you act on anything here.

For analysis rather than the firehose, the AI Newsline has our plain-English take on the stories that matter for businesses. The Wire also has an RSS feed for your reader.
