Cybersecurity doesn't have to be complicated. I am here to break down concepts, threats, tips, and tools in simple language. For mere mortals and developers alike.
Since I have been asked this a lot: The best way to support this site, is to buy my books.
Zeabur will close its hosting services after a second security incident. Customers now need two plans at once: revoke exposed trust, then prove their applications and data can run somewhere else.
ConnectWise suspended Cloud Backup after application identities were used for unauthorised Microsoft 365 access. Here is how a vendor credential crosses tenants, what revocation cannot undo, and how to investigate without guessing.
SAP disclosed a credential-leaking flaw in its Cloud SDK for Python, while independent testing found the repaired behavior missing from six later releases. The durable fix is an upgrade plus a small test at the trust boundary.
A Storm-3168 attack used stolen Azure application identities to map a tenant and delete cloud resources in minutes. The useful lesson is how to limit machine authority before fast automation turns one credential into a wide outage.
Cloudflare fixed a storage flaw that could expose fragments from deleted container disks to another customer. The incident shows why tenant isolation must cover storage reuse, not only the running workload.
Google observed criminals turn a stolen cloud foothold into a mass credential-harvesting operation in less than six hours. The useful lesson is about authority, outbound traffic, and how quickly defenders can contain a machine-speed campaign.
Attackers used a key stolen from an exposed AI dashboard for three weeks and consumed model credits worth about $600,000. The useful lesson is to make every experimental key narrow, temporary, visible, and cheap to lose.
CISA used similar red-team methods against two critical-infrastructure organisations. One security team acted within minutes while another lost the real warnings among routine noise.
ServiceNow fixed three maximum-severity flaws that could be reached without signing in. The urgent work is patching, but the durable lesson is to map every action, identity, and integration the platform can reach.
