Editorial profile
Artur Ślesik
Artur Ślesik is the founder of HackWatch.io and owner of WEB-NET, a Polish web company active since 2009. His HackWatch editorial role focuses on practical web security, phishing awareness, user-facing recovery guidance and source-backed review based on long-running experience building and maintaining online portals.
Artur is presented as a real founder and editorial reviewer, not as a fabricated SOC analyst, CERT responder or unverified threat-intelligence persona. His strongest first-hand experience is web publishing, portal development, user safety, secure implementation practices and the practical security problems that appear when websites, forms, accounts and online services are exposed to abuse. Advanced malware, forensics and incident-response claims must remain source-backed and, where needed, reviewed with specialist contributors.
Editorial transparency. This is a real named founder profile. HackWatch does not claim unverified security certifications, SOC employment history or CERT incident-response credentials for Artur. Security guidance is grounded in public sources, HackWatch tooling and first-hand web-portal experience.

Editorial methodology
- Separate first-hand web-portal experience from specialist incident-response claims so readers can judge the scope of expertise.
- Use HackWatch's own tools, reports and user-facing workflows to add practical observations that generic summaries cannot provide.
- Cite primary advisories, CERT guidance, vendor notices or official public resources when the article touches active threats or recovery steps.
- Escalate deep forensic, malware or threat-intelligence claims to specialist review when the claim goes beyond founder/web-security experience.
