Sources and methods

The content on zerodayroom is compiled from a curated selection of published news feeds and indexes from specialist publications covering digital security. These sources focus on the core subjects of vulnerabilities, campaigns, and the subsequent patches or controls that mitigate them. Each automated process selects stories based on this defined spine, ensuring relevance to the site's sections, from Vulnerabilities and Threats to Regulation and Sectors.

When a story is identified, automated systems assist in extracting its core factual claims. These are then rewritten into a concise, plain-English summary. The original publication is always credited as the source of the information. This process applies to all news items and advisories, maintaining a clear chain of attribution for every report on a new exploit, threat actor activity, or security update.

If a factual assertion, such as a technical detail or attribution claim, appears in only one publication, it is treated as a single-source claim. The summary will note this context, presenting the information as reported while indicating it lacks immediate corroboration from other monitored sources. This approach allows readers to assess the information with appropriate caution.

The site's reference pages, such as those for a specific Vulnerability or Control, are built differently. They are constructed from stable, corroborated facts that have become established across multiple reports. These pages feature a structured facts table and a credited photograph where available. The factual content is drawn from consensus reporting and official advisories, avoiding the ephemeral details of breaking news.

All content on zerodayroom is subject to scheduled refresh cycles. News sections and advisories are updated continuously as new feeds are processed. The factual reference pages are reviewed and updated on a regular schedule to incorporate new consensus information, ensuring they reflect the current understanding of the vulnerability, threat actor, or control, with a particular focus on their relevance within the Asian market.
