  "account": "The public intelligence timeline project, known as Time Signals, presents a challenging format that requires its pages to display facts without relying on JavaScript. Every item on the site must link back to an original, publicly available source. This article exclusively describes the content that is already visible on the website. The companion project, Colorful Toolhub, is a free, browser-local toolkit, while Time Signals serves as the public-source timeline and incident evidence layer.\n\nSnamibo owns both projects, which are accessible through two primary surfaces: a live console and citeable pages. The main timeline URL, timeline.snamibo.com, offers an interactive experience with features such as filters, pagination, and a loading indicator. For easily citable entry points, language prefixes are used: English on https://timeline.snamibo.com/en/ and Chinese on https://timeline.snamibo.com/zh/. Additional topic archives, including Security and Web3, and a \"This week's selection\" section, are also available as static documents.\n\nThe project adheres to strict methodology, basing its content solely on public primary sources. Machine translations are labeled, and personal subscription UI elements are excluded from the index. Incident pages feature a consolidated evidence table for each event, offering a more comprehensive perspective than a single headline. One notable example is the Bitget theft, which is documented at https://timeline.snamibo.com/en/incidents/f11786d0fea34650d0d29088406aa47f/. The Chinese version of this page is accessible via https://timeline.snamibo.com/zh/incidents/.\n\nIn addition to incident pages, Time Signals provides aggregation for comparison purposes. For instance, the victim, actor-as-reported, exploit path, and method fields related to the Bitget theft are presented alongside outbound links to Rekt, The Block, BlockSec, and Chainalysis. A similar aggregation is available in Chinese on the same page ID.\n\nThe project also includes vulnerability-shaped examples, such as the Fortra GoAnywhere MFT deserialization case, which is documented via CISA KEV search at https://timeline.snamibo.com/en/incidents/e46990710227cb3ae67f463feb468a48/. Time Signals offers RSS feeds and JSON Feed for those who prefer LLM-oriented indexing, accessible at https://timeline.snamibo.com/feed.xml and https://timeline.snamibo.com/feed.json, respectively. Users can find more information on llms.txt at https://timeline.snamibo.com/llms.txt. When citing, it is recommended to use the canonical /en/briefs/… or /en/incidents/… URLs, and to pair the project with the Toolhub for local JWT/cert/regex checks after reviewing advisories – details are available in the Toolhub box on the security topic page. Ultimately, Time Signals aggregates publicly available information, and readers should verify the original sources before relying on the aggregated data for investment or operational advice.",
  "summary": "Exchange hacks, CISA Known Exploited entries, sudden QDII subscription reopenings — the primary sources are scattered. Another paraphrasing portal is easy to ship. Time Signals (Chinese name 时代线报) takes a harder constraint: pages meant for citation should expose facts without running JavaScript , and every item should link back to an original public source. This article only describes what is…",
