About us
Syrus #Blog is a network of blogs dedicated to cybersecurity and technology, published in multiple languages. We write practical guides for people who use computers, smartphones and online services every day: how to spot a scam, how to protect your accounts, what to do when something goes wrong. Every article starts from the same idea: explain useful things clearly, without scaremongering and without unnecessary jargon.
Who writes
Our authors write under pseudonyms. It's a common choice for people working in cybersecurity: it keeps the focus on the content and protects writers from attacks and harassment. Each pseudonym always corresponds to the same person and the same area of expertise.
Nullbyte
Nullbyte tracks cyber threats: malware, ransomware and the way criminals use artificial intelligence. They explain how attacks work and how to defend against them, drawing on warnings from authorities and security researchers.
Lynx
Lynx covers online scams, phishing and consumer protection. They analyze the most widespread scams of the moment and explain, step by step, how to recognize them and where to report them.
Cipher
Cipher writes about privacy, passwords, passkeys and encryption. They turn security settings into simple instructions, checked against the services' official documentation.
Orbit
Orbit covers smartphones, apps and social networks, with a particular focus on account security. They personally test the settings they recommend and explain what to do when an account is compromised.
How we work
- We rely on official sources: national cybersecurity authorities, law enforcement, consumer associations and manufacturers' documentation. When we cite a figure or a piece of advice, we say where it comes from.
- We verify instructions before publishing them and write them for people who aren't technical experts.
- We update articles when things change and correct mistakes as soon as we find them, noting the date of the update.
- Sponsored articles are always kept separate from editorial content and clearly labeled as such. Sponsors do not influence our guides.
