WithSecure Labs

Formerly F-Secure Labs; Finnish; strong on European threat actors. Cadence is sparse (low-frequency rotation source). The /publications landing does NOT surface per-post dates. Drill rule: open the most recent 3 posts on the landing and read their byline date inside the article. Reliability MEDIUM due to publication frequency, not quality. | 2026-06-20 full audit (v2.62): URL MOVED, labs.withsecure.com/publications now 301s to www.withsecure.com/en/resources-hub/w-labs/ (WebFetch won't auto-follow the cross-host 301). url updated. Sparse cadence; drill into per-publication pages for dates. | 2026-07-05 admiralty audit: B (lifted from MEDIUM), reputable vendor research lab, original threat research; MEDIUM was cadence-driven and cadence is not a reliability factor. Landing shows month-level dates only; drill per-post for exact dates. No status change. | 2026-08-23 audit: RECIPE GAP CONFIRMED; the w-labs/ listing renders real titles and URLs but carries NO publication dates anywhere; listing order cannot be trusted as reverse-chronological. The top-listed item on that date (GREYVIBE) drilled to a true date of 2026-05-28, three months stale. DRILL each candidate article for its own date before treating anything from this listing as in-window. The long zero-contribution streak is explained by this, not by a dead host. | 2026-09-29: HTML listing is undated and every post carries site-wide modified date 2026-09-08 in extract frontmatter (do not trust it). Working recipe: bridge url on the WordPress REST route https://www.withsecure.com/en/wp-json/wp/v2/lab_item?per_page=15&orderby=date&order=desc&_fields=date,modified,link,title (advertised via the page head api.w.org link; `date` = true publication date, `link` = article URL), then extract <link> for the body. Low cadence: 12 items in 14 months (2026: Jan 22, Mar 12, Mar 25, Apr 15, May 28 x2, Aug 27); max_staleness_days 120. (2026-09-29T2134Z-audit)
