About The Hacker News
The Hacker News reports on cybersecurity: breaches, vulnerabilities, threat research and the tools and policies around them. Its readers are security professionals, engineers and the executives accountable for them.
What the numbers mean for a feature
These figures describe the whole site. An individual article gets a share of that traffic, not all of it.
Security is bought by a small, sceptical and well-informed group of people, and they read a short list of publications. Appearing on that list is close to a prerequisite for being taken seriously, and general business coverage does not substitute for it.
