Research and evidence
See what was reviewed, what qualified, what remains unresolved and why a report was excluded. Each decision names the scope it applies to.
RogueWatch includes unauthorized organizational security harm, including harm to an agent’s own operator. The external-intrusion catalogue asks a narrower question about break-ins. One case can receive different decisions under these scopes.

What this log covers
Imported research assessments, manual case audits, current incident records, retained review-queue decisions and captured pipeline reviews. Earlier logs are incomplete. Unknown review and discovery times remain unrecorded. Review counts are not incident totals or unique victim counts.
Imported assessments retain their original dates where recorded. Importing a record does not mean it was newly investigated today. A missing review date means the original review time was not recorded. Source publication, incident occurrence, addition, posting and discovery are separate dates. Dates use America/Los_Angeles. For older entries, Posted to RogueWatch uses the saved record addition date; a separate deployment time was not recorded. Future posting timestamps record first public qualification. Source publication and incident occurrence are separate. Timestamped reviews are displayed in America/Los_Angeles; original timestamps remain in the downloads.
Several articles may describe one case. Different cases can also share a disclosure or an event family. Source relationships describe provenance; a repost is not independent corroboration. A retrieval failure remains open for retry rather than becoming a disqualification.
