404 Media is an independent, reader-funded news publication focused on technology, cybercrime, hacking, and digital rights. It was founded by journalists who previously covered these beats elsewhere and now publish investigative stories and analysis outside the traditional ad-driven model.
The site’s core output includes original reporting on online fraud, surveillance, platform policy failures, and security incidents, often drawing on court records, leaked documents, and direct interviews with affected people. It also offers a podcast, a FOIA forum for public-records requests, and an archive of past work.
Its audience includes technologists, security researchers, privacy advocates, journalists, and general readers who want accountability reporting on how digital systems affect real people. The Amanda Smith CashApp story is a typical example: a personal case used to examine broader failures in fraud detection and platform support.
Readers can access some content for free, while full access and ad-free reading require a subscription. Those interested in digital rights and cybercrime will find the archive and FOIA resources useful for following ongoing investigations.
