Conisec appends corrections. We do not silently rewrite a published record, and we do not delete one. When we get something wrong, the correction appears as its own dated entry on the article or incident page, and is listed here.
The log
No corrections have been issued. This page will list every one as it is made, with the date, the article, what was wrong, and what it now says.
Reporting an error
If you have found a factual error — a wrong figure, a misread advisory, a mischaracterised rule, a broken verification step — please contact us with the URL and the primary source that contradicts us. Errors in security and regulatory reporting can send a reader to a wrong conclusion or a hostile site, so we treat them as urgent.
To report a security vulnerability in the Conisec website itself, see our security policy.
Corrections, updates and the difference
The two are not the same and we do not label them the same way.
- A correction means we published something that was wrong when we published it — a misstated figure, a wrong attribution, a misread instrument. Corrections are marked as corrections and dated.
- An update means the facts moved after publication — a loss figure revised by the affected project, a regulator issuing a further statement. Updates are dated and added; the earlier position is not deleted.
Collapsing the second into the first is how a publication quietly rewrites its own record. We keep them separate so the reader can tell which happened.
Why incident timelines are append-only
On an incident record, the timeline is never edited in place. A later entry supersedes an earlier one; it does not overwrite it. If we logged an early figure that was subsequently revised, both the original entry and the revision remain visible with their dates.
This matters for a specific reason: the early hours of an incident are when reporting is least reliable and most widely copied. Being able to see what was believed at the time — and when it changed — is part of what an incident record is for.
When the primary source itself changes
Sometimes the thing that moves is not our reporting but the document under it: a project edits its post-mortem, a regulator replaces a notice. Where we detect this, we note the date we retrieved the original and what changed. We do not silently re-point a citation to a document that now says something different.
Reporting an error
Tell us through contact, and where you can, include the page, the specific claim, and the source you believe is authoritative. A claim we cannot trace to a primary document gets removed rather than defended — the burden sits with us, not with the reader who flagged it.
