I would expect a landing page to show summaries. Largest organizations impacted in last 7 days, most active exploit, etc. Instead all I see are events - apparently including tweets as a source - with minimal context. Just do what you advertise. Show me the latest breaking info from the dark web. Who is impacted, how much, and what was the vector? Better to be sorted by magnitude of impact rather than strictly chronologically. Bonus points if you consider when the user was last logged in to your platform: for people that last viewed your content a month ago, here are the biggest events from the last month. Same for weekly, daily frequencies.

That said, love the initiative and focus on this space and there’s probably an opportunity to sell your data to hedge funds.

Great points - can say this is all 'coming soon'! One note, because this profile isn't personalized to a particular user's products, tech stack, and 3rd party/ supply chain, it's especially chaotic. For a more tailored profile, the social, news, and dark web posts all cluster around a specific events since there are far fewer critical events of interest to a specific user. No excuses, just sharing for background. Interesting point on the hedge fund use case, haven't been able to find a good user/ persona to interview about that and would love any suggestions if you have any. Thanks again for checking us out.
