Once you build a surveillance system, you can’t control who will use it: A hacker working for the Sinaloa drug cartel was able to obtain an FBI official’s phone records and use Mexico City’s surveillance cameras to help track and kill the agency’s informants in 2018, according to a new US justice department report. The incident was disclosed in a justice department inspector general’s audit of the FBI’s efforts to mitigate the effects of “ubiquitous technical surveillance,” a t
I always used to joke that when people used Have I Been Pwned (HIBP), we effectively said "Oh no - you've been pwned! Uh, good luck!" and left it at that. That was fine when it was a pet project used by people who live in a similar world to me, but it didn't do a lot for the everyday folks just learning about the scary world of data breaches.
In May 2025, the U.S. government sanctioned a Chinese national for operating a cloud provider linked to the majority of virtual currency investment scam websites reported to the FBI.

We need to talk about data integrity. Narrowly, the term refers to ensuring that data isn’t tampered with, either in transit or in storage. Manipulating account balances in bank databases, removing entries from criminal records, and murder by removing notations about allergies from medical records are all integrity attacks. More broadly, integrity refers to ensuring that data is correct and accurate from the point it is collected, through all the ways it is used, modified, transformed, and event
I'm in Austria! Well, I was in Austria, I'm now somewhere over the Aussie desert as I try and end this trip on top of my "to-do" list. The Have I Been Pwned Alpine Grand Tour was a great success with loads of time spent with govs, public meetups and users of this little data breach project that kinda escalated. As I say in the vid, I'm posting a lot more pics publicly to my Facebook page , so if you want to see the highlights, head over there.

Most of us have heard the saying, “No pain, no gain.” For cybersecurity leaders navigating the high-stakes world of defending critical systems, this phrase takes on a whole new meaning. Pain, in this context, doesn’t have to mean the physical discomfort. Instead, it’s the uncomfortable reality of facing constant threats, adapting to a rapidly shifting landscape, and shouldering the pressure of being the frontline defence for organisations.
Over 1,000 SOHO devices were hacked in a China-linked spying campaign called LapDogs, forming a covert network to support cyber espionage. Security researchers at SecurityScorecard’s STRIKE team have uncovered a cyber espionage campaign, dubbed LapDogs, involving over 1,000 hacked SOHO (small office/home office) devices.

A whole class of speculative execution attacks against CPUs were published in 2018. They seemed pretty catastrophic at the time. But the fixes were as well. Speculative execution was a way to speed up CPUs, and removing those enhancements resulted in significant performance drops. Now, people are rethinking the trade-off. Ubuntu has disabled some protections, resulting in 20% performance boost.
Many cybersecurity awareness platforms offer massive content libraries, yet they fail to enhance employees’ cyber resilience.
