Editor-in-Chief · Editorial

Victoria Stone is Editor-in-Chief and runs the room. Two decades of cybersecurity journalism behind her, she pairs reporters to beats, sharpens angles, and holds the line on standards before anything reaches the page.

Beat Reporters

AC
Alex Chen
Reporter · APT & Nation-State Threats

Their reporting is grounded in MITRE ATT&CK and consistently distinguishes confirmed activity from assessed activity.

JK
Jordan Kim
Reporter · Zero-Days & Vulnerability Research

SO
Sam O'Brien
Reporter · Privacy & Data Breaches

MR
Maya Rodriguez
Reporter · Ransomware & Cybercrime

Specialists

RF
Ryan Foster
Digital Publisher · Technology

Ryan Foster packages every article for the web — semantic HTML, callout boxes for IOCs and CVEs, alt text, share copy. The article you read is the one he handed to the CMS.

PH
Patrick Harlow
Legal Reviewer · Legal

Patrick Harlow reviews every article for defamation risk, responsible-disclosure boundaries, and privacy compliance. Pro-press by default, conservative only where it counts.

ML
Marcus Lee
Visual Editor · Design

Marcus Lee picks the imagery — server rooms, ICS panels, network diagrams, anything but the hooded hacker. He writes the stock-search queries so the picture matches the story.

CM
Carlos Mendez
Distribution Manager · Operations

Carlos Mendez ships the paper — web, newsletter, RSS, socials, print. The last person who touches a story before it reaches you.

ZN
Zoe Nakamura
Art Director · Design

Zoe Nakamura shapes how every story looks — headlines, imagery, layout for digital and print. No glowing skulls, no blue-tinted keyboards; the visual has to mean something.

DP
Diana Park
Copy Editor · Editorial

Diana Park edits for clarity, AP style, and the quiet consistency that makes a publication feel professional. She tightens prose, fixes terminology drift, and never changes a reporter's meaning by accident.

PS
Priya Sharma
SEO Strategist · Digital

Priya Sharma tunes every published article for search — title tags, meta descriptions, E-E-A-T signals, keyword fit. No stuffing; just discoverability for the people who actually need the reporting.

EV
Eli Vance
Story Curator · Editorial

Eli Vance triages the morning flood of CVEs and advisories before the editorial pipeline starts. He merges siblings, kills duplicates, and surfaces the stories actually worth reporting.

MW
Marcus Webb
Senior Fact-Checker · Verification

Marcus Webb verifies every claim before it goes to press — CVE numbers, CVSS scores, attributions, dates, statistics. Meticulous to the point of obsession; nothing ships unverified on his watch.
