“We use passkeys, so phishing can't get us.” I wouldn't be so confident. Passkeys are a major improvement in authentication security. But attackers are adapting around the technology rather than simply attacking the cryptography. Microsoft has documented active campaigns where a…

Samuel Watua Soita dropped an excellent point recently about how AI is rewriting the economics of phishing. The takeaway is clear: We can no longer train users to spot fakes when the fakes are mathematically perfect copies. Traditional awareness training looks at the perimeter—b…
OAuth & MCP Investigation Checklist: 4 Steps to Assess Risk As organizations adopt OAuth-connected applications and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations, it's important to evaluate how these connections could expose sensitive data or increase attack surface. 1. Inventory Co…
Why Everyone Should Turn On MFA A strong password is important, but a password alone is not enough. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring two or more forms of verification before access is granted. For example: 🔑 Something you know: Pass…
North Korean IT workers are using fake identities to get hired by foreign companies. At the same time, fake recruiters are targeting IT professionals through malicious coding assignments and technical interviews. The latest joint advisory from Japanese, US, Australian and German…

Breach Intelligence: The Highest-Stakes OSINT Discipline. Breach data provides pre-compromise intelligence that no scanner can replicate. It tells you what has already been broken, what credentials circulate in criminal economies, and whether your organization has been quietly c…
I didn't pick Cloudflare for security. I picked it for caching. Security is just what stuck. New post on how DNS, origin protection, Access, mTLS, and Turnstile turned into an actual architecture decision — and the one feature (WARP) I ditched in 24 hours because it broke my pen…
OSINT Reconnaissance: The Human Layer Is the Weakest Link Bottom Line: You can patch every server, but you can't patch a person's digital footprint. That's why adversaries spend 80% of their time in OSINT before they ever touch your network. Before the first credential is spraye…
Day 1 of Ant Colony Bootcamp: Recruit. You don’t hire access. You hire identity. Recruit Day Day 1 of Ant Colony Bootcamp: Recruit. Before I give any ant a tunnel key, I check: 1. HR ticket exists? 2. manager approved? 3. start date = today? No ticket, no tunnel. That’s NIS2 Art…

Confidentiality is not encryption. A common mistake we see in 2026: teams declaring "we're secure" simply because their data traffic is fully encrypted. Encryption protects data in transit and at rest. It does completely fail to protect data in use, in process, or sitting expose…
