Hacks and security: one topic, read in full
Hacks and security is one of the topics the site tracks about crypto. A language model reads every story's headline and lead and files it under up to three topics; this page holds the stories filed under Hacks and security.
Every figure here follows the period picked above: the stories, the topic's share of the news, its tone and its history. The last 24 hours are open to everyone; longer periods come with Pro.

01
Stories, not articles
Reprints of the same news from different domains are merged into one story, so an item copied by forty sites counts once.
Open a story to see which domains carried it.
02
What the share means
The share is the part of all crypto stories in the period that carry this topic. A story can sit under several topics, so the shares of all universes add up to more than 100%.
The change compares it with the period before.
03
How the tone is read
Tone is positive minus negative among the topic's rated articles, on a scale where 50 is a balance. Neutral articles are left out.
With too few rated articles the index is not shown, because a handful of headlines should not set the mood.
04
How the list is ordered
By attention: how loud each story is right now — its reach, spread and speed on a fixed 0–100 scale.
Sort by tone, domains or time, filter by tone or search the headlines; the address keeps what you picked.
