EDITORIAL CHARTER & METHODOLOGY

About WORLD//CYBER

A global public observatory and knowledge repository dedicated to making cyber conflict, zero-day research, and cyber jurisprudence transparent, structured, and discoverable.

1. Editorial Mission

The cybersecurity domain is frequently obscured by fragmented vendor marketing, sensationalist headlines, and inaccessible technical jargon. WORLD//CYBER treats global cyber conflict with the rigorous editorial standards of international statecraft, investigative journalism, and scientific peer review.

Our platform synthesizes disparate feeds into an interconnected knowledge graph where every vulnerability connects to its affected kernel subsystem, the threat actors who exploit it, the malware weapons carrying it, and the international court cases prosecuting its perpetrators.

2. Attribution & Evidentiary Standard

We distinguish strictly between verified technical artifacts and geopolitical allegations. Every threat actor attribution is graded according to a multi-tiered confidence rubric:

CONFIRMED ATTRIBUTION

Supported by sworn judicial indictments, cryptographic C2 sinkhole telemetry, or unanimous Five Eyes / EU CERT advisories.

HIGH CONFIDENCE ATTRIBUTION

Supported by multiple independent private threat labs (e.g. Mandiant, CrowdStrike, Citizen Lab) with matching code overlaps.

3. Classification Protocols (TLP & CVSS)

TRAFFIC LIGHT PROTOCOL (TLP 2.0)

All data published on the WORLD//CYBER public portal is strictly classified TLP:CLEAR / TLP:WHITE. Internal research workflows maintain rigorous segregation for sensitive ongoing investigation artifacts.

VULNERABILITY METRICS (CVSS 4.0 & EPSS)

We combine Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS v4.0) qualitative vectors with Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) dynamic empirical probabilities to quantify real-world threat urgency.
