Why these sources
Selected for a reason
Every source here is written or edited by people who work in security rather than around it. We skipped vendor blogs that exist mostly to sell the fix.

FAQ
Cybersecurity RSS questions
What are the best cybersecurity RSS feeds?
The Hacker News and BleepingComputer are fastest on new vulnerabilities and breaches. Krebs on Security breaks investigations, Schneier on Security explains what incidents mean, and SANS Internet Storm Center publishes daily notes from working incident responders.
Are these feeds useful for non-experts?
Mostly yes. BleepingComputer and The Hacker News write for a general technical audience, while SANS and Dark Reading lean toward practitioners. The notes on each feed say which is which.
Can I republish security news on my WordPress site?
You can import and display feeds you have rights to use with an RSS plugin such as WP RSS Aggregator. Many security sites allow excerpt display with a link back, but check each publication's terms first.
