What is Threatpost?
Threatpost was a computer-security news site launched in 2009 and funded by Kaspersky Lab, editorially describing itself as independent of Kaspersky. No new articles have been published since August 2022, and Threatpost is now inactive as a regularly updated publication; the domain still serves its archived content.

Key capabilities
- Archive access: previously published articles remain readable.
- No new content: nothing has been posted since August 2022.
- Historical context: useful for researching older vulnerabilities or incidents, not current ones.
There is no active editorial program to evaluate. If citing Threatpost content, note the original publication date, since none of it reflects events after mid-2022.
Do not rely on Threatpost for current security news: it has not published new articles since August 2022. Use it only as a historical archive, and get current coverage from an actively updated outlet.
Listing a defunct news outlet as an active source risks readers citing stale security guidance as current. This profile marks Threatpost as discontinued rather than treating it as a live publication.
