Information from blogs and forums can sometimes offer early insights into new vulnerabilities, ongoing cyber attacks, or operational tactics of threat actors that may not be widely known yet. However, because these platforms can include both informed commentary and misinformation, analysts must critically evaluate the credibility of the sources and corroborate the intelligence with other data. Reliance on such open-source information requires discernment to separate valuable insights from speculation and misinformation.
