The Hacker News (THN) Celebrates 6th Anniversary Today

Can you believe that it's been 6 years since we first launched The Hacker News?

Yes, The Hacker News is celebrating its sixth anniversary today on 1st November.

We started this site on this same day back in 2010 with the purpose of providing a dedicated platform to deliver latest infosec news and threat updates for Hackers, Security researchers, technologists, and nerds.

Times flies when you are having fun!

The Hacker News has become one of the World's popular and trusted Hacking News channel that went from ~100,000 readers to more than 10 million monthly readers — all because of THN readers high enthusiasm.

In this short span of time, The Hacker News has achieved a series of milestone:

• The Hacker News Facebook page is going to hit 1.5 Million Followers,
• More than 1.6 Million followers on Google Plus+,
• Over 200,000 Email Subscribers,
• And around 307,000 Twitter Followers.

What's more? The Twitter Account of The Hacker News became officially verified (yes, that blue tick) by Twitter.

We don't cover everything, never did, never could, we just cover the things that are important to our readers and impact a large audience. That's the actual difference between The Hacker News and a full-fledged News Outlet.

Most importantly, The Hacker News thanks all of its readers for the support and trust, as it continues to grow and serve this community.

Regardless of how frequent you visit our site, whether you are a regular reader who reads every since article or just occasionally comes, whether you support our site by sharing articles, or being a silent reader, THN would not be there and probably have never achieved these milestones, if you were not there.
