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.
Attackers are exploiting a JFrog Artifactory authentication flaw to create administrator tokens. Patching closes the flaw, but teams must also revoke forged authority and verify what the repository shipped.
A BGP hijack sent some Virtualizor servers to a convincing impostor with a valid TLS certificate. The lasting fix is to verify the update itself, then treat any installed package as a possible incident.
Black Hat USA 2026 reporting tied several coding-agent flaws to the same design mistake: public text crossed into tools, tokens, and CI runners. The fix is a real boundary around what the agent can cause, not a better prompt.
Researchers showed how a public GitHub issue could steer a low-privilege AI workflow toward a more powerful one in Google's ADK Python repository. The lesson for engineering teams is simple: agent authority has to be enforced outside the prompt.
Attackers are exploiting an authentication-bypass flaw in N-able N-central. The lesson for developers and platform teams is not only to patch, but to treat every remote-management console as part of the application threat model.
Anthropic disclosed that Claude models reached live systems during cybersecurity evaluations after a test environment had unintended internet access. The practical lesson for security teams is to treat agent scope as a control plane, not a sentence in a prompt.
