Every October brings a familiar rhythm - pumpkin-spice everything in stores and cafés, alongside a wave of reminders, webinars, and checklists in my inbox. Halloween may be just around the corner, yet for those of us in cybersecurity, Security Awareness Month is the true seasonal milestone. Make no mistake, as a security professional, I love this month. Launched by CISA and the National

Chipmaker AMD has released fixes to address a security flaw dubbed RMPocalypse that could be exploited to undermine confidential computing guarantees provided by Secure Encrypted Virtualization with Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP). The attack, per ETH Zürich researchers Benedict Schlüter and Shweta Shinde, exploits AMD's incomplete protections that make it possible to perform a single memory

Visa unveiled the Trusted Agent Protocol, establishing a foundational framework for agentic commerce that enables secure communication between AI agents and merchants during every step of a transaction. The Trusted Agent Protocol aims to address the challenges facing agent-driven commerce, ushering in a new era where AI can search, compare, and pay on behalf of consumers while ensuring trust between merchants and AI agents. Developed in collaboration with Cloudflare, the release of this protocol reinforces …

The UK’s NCSC handled 429 cyberattacks from Sept 2024–Aug 2025, including 204 nationally significant cases, over double the previous year’s total. The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) reported a record surge in major cyberattacks, responding to 429 incidents from September 2024 to August 2025, including 204 deemed “nationally significant”, more than double the previous […]

Android devices from Google and Samsung have been found vulnerable to a side-channel attack that could be exploited to covertly steal two-factor authentication (2FA) codes, Google Maps timelines, and other sensitive data without the users' knowledge pixel-by-pixel. The attack has been codenamed Pixnapping by a group of academics from the University of California (Berkeley), University of

This chilling paragraph is in a comprehensive Brookings report about the use of tech to deport people from the US: The administration has also adapted its methods of social media surveillance. Though agencies like the State Department have gathered millions of handles and monitored political discussions online, the Trump administration has been more explicit in who it’s targeting. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a new, zero-tolerance “Catch and Revoke” strategy, which uses AI to monitor the public speech of foreign nationals and revoke visas...

Before an attacker ever sends a payload, they’ve already done the work of understanding how your environment is built. They look at your login flows, your JavaScript files, your error messages, your API documentation, your GitHub repos. These are all clues that help them understand how your systems behave. AI is significantly accelerating reconnaissance and enabling attackers to map your

Warn businesses to act now as high-severity incidents keep climbing Cyberattacks that meet upper severity thresholds set by the UK government's cyber agents have risen 50 percent in the last year, despite almost zero change in the volume of cases handled.…

SpyChain shows how unverified COTS hardware in small satellites can enable persistent, multi-component supply chain attacks using NASA’s NOS3 simulator. The rise of small satellites has transformed scientific, commercial, and defense operations. Using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) parts makes them cheaper and faster to build but also introduces new, poorly understood security risks unique to space […]

This appendix details the mathematical proofs and performance analysis underlying a blockchain transaction fee mechanism. It compares the expected outcomes of algorithmic (ALG) versus adversarial (ADV) scheduling, defines key parameters like miner power, immediacy ratio, and discount factors, and provides a glossary of symbols and acronyms used throughout the paper. The section reinforces the theoretical foundation for non-myopic allocation rules and miner revenue optimization under Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) models.

Oracle issued an emergency security update to address a new E-Business Suite (EBS) vulnerability tracked as CVE-2025-61884. Oracle released an emergency patch to address an information disclosure flaw, tracked as CVE-2025-61884 (CVSS Score of 7.5), in E-Business Suite’s Runtime UI component (versions 12.2.3–12.2.14). “Oracle has just released Security Alert CVE-2025-61884. This vulnerability affects some deployments of Oracle E-Business […]

Cybersecurity researchers have identified several malicious packages across npm, Python, and Ruby ecosystems that leverage Discord as a command-and-control (C2) channel to transmit stolen data to actor-controlled webhooks. Webhooks on Discord are a way to post messages to channels in the platform without requiring a bot user or authentication, making them an attractive mechanism for attackers to

This section explores how present bias, memorylessness, and heterogeneous miner strategies affect optimal allocation algorithms in blockchain systems. It shows that while semi-myopic, memoryless algorithms can achieve deterministic upper bounds, their simplicity limits adaptability across varying discount factors (λ). The discussion also considers implications for miner coordination, discount interpretation, and alternative time-dependent models that could redefine blockchain efficiency and fairness.

Amid 2025’s crypto presale race, Pepeto leads with $7M raised, 221% APY staking, and real blockchain products like PepetoSwap and PepetoBridge. Unlike BlockDAG and Bitcoin Hyper, Pepeto merges meme energy with utility, full audits, and a growing community—making it the strongest contender for massive gains this cycle.

Malfunctioning equipment and manual processing cause 90-minute waits The European Union's new biometric Exit/Entry System (EES) got off to a chaotic start at Prague's international airport, with travelers facing lengthy queues and malfunctioning equipment forcing border staff to process arrivals manually.…

The "Skinny Brain Epidemic" is when people mistake suffering and busywork for value. Our systems reward appearing busy, leading to a death spiral where effort is the proxy for competence. The key to wealth and results isn't working harder (like a drycleaner) but working on problems with higher leverage (like Elon). Stop measuring your worth by your suffering. Start generating new knowledge, optimizing for leverage (writing, code, systems), and building machines instead of just cutting the grass.
