How we source our research

We work from primary sources: federal statistical agencies (the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Census Bureau), federal incident and enforcement records (the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center, the HHS Office for Civil Rights, CISA), and official industry data. Where we can, we analyze the raw dataset ourselves rather than repeating published summaries. Every factual claim links to a source we opened, and anything we could not verify is excluded or labeled.

Using our data

Journalists, analysts, and operators are welcome to cite and reuse our datasets under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. Each report includes a ready-made citation and a CSV download.
