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.
One operator used AI agents to probe more than 1,200 websites, with reported compromises at over 100 organisations. The practical response is faster friction, smaller application identities, and evidence that survives the first successful request.
A Node.js flaw can turn malformed Brotli data into code running inside the application process. The useful response is to patch the runtime, then map every place compressed data enters from requests and fetched responses.
PHP fixed two critical flaws that can be reached before application code runs, while Amazon found an exploitation attempt four days before disclosure. Here is how to patch the runtime you actually serve, verify the change, and search the right window.
Eight weak certificate-authority keys were blocked quickly in major browsers, but many applications carry a separate copy of trust. Here is how to find the verifier your software actually uses, update it, and prove the fix reached production.
Wikimedia found unapproved agent activity across its wikis, public tools, and data services. The practical lesson is to give every agent a named identity, narrow routes, hard budgets, and a stop condition before it touches the open web.
Jscrambler found European and US financial institutions sending customer data to ad platforms through tracking pixels, including unencrypted names, tax IDs, and loan details, sometimes in direct violation of the consent the user had given.
