Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Nightwatch News ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time; continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

2. Description of Service

Nightwatch News is a cybersecurity news aggregation service that collects, indexes, and presents publicly available information from third-party sources including security advisories, vulnerability databases, research publications, and news outlets. We do not originate the underlying content — we aggregate and surface it for informational purposes.

3. Informational Purpose Only

All content on Nightwatch News is provided for informational purposes only. Nothing on this Service constitutes professional security advice, legal advice, or a recommendation to take any specific action. Cybersecurity information changes rapidly — always verify critical information against primary sources such as vendor advisories, CISA, and the NIST National Vulnerability Database before acting on it.

4. Accuracy and Timeliness

We strive to present accurate, timely information but make no warranties regarding the completeness, accuracy, or currency of any content. CVE records, advisories, and threat intelligence may be updated, revised, or retracted by their original sources after ingestion. Nightwatch News displays revocation and rejection notices where detectable, but cannot guarantee that all records reflect the latest status from upstream sources.

5. Intellectual Property

The Nightwatch News name, logo, and original site design are the property of Nightwatch News. Aggregated article excerpts and summaries are sourced from third parties and remain the property of their respective owners. We display content under fair use principles for news aggregation.

If you believe your content has been used inappropriately, please contact us at umeshkrishna@nightwatch.news.

Nightwatch News does not endorse, control, or take responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or security of any third-party sites. Accessing external links is at your own risk.
