What if a single piece of code could bring the internet to its knees? In November 1988, that’s exactly what happened. A self-replicating program—later named the Morris Worm—raced across the young internet and crippled an estimated 10% of all connected systems. Universities went dark. Government labs shut off network links. Admins pulled all-nighters to save…
Your thoughts are the most private thing you own. Now imagine a world where your brain can talk to software—and software can talk back. That’s what brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) promise: control a cursor with intention, restore movement after injury, or even generate speech from neural activity. But with new power comes a new question that…
If you’ve sat through a security briefing over the last few years, you likely heard a version of this: “AI attacks are coming, but the threats you’ll face this year are the same old phishing emails and unpatched systems.” That used to be true. It isn’t anymore. This year is different. If your organization gets…
If you’ve ever clicked “Accept” on a hotel or airport Wi‑Fi splash page, this one’s going to hit close to home. Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) says a China‑aligned hacking crew, tracked as UNC6384, pulled off a sophisticated cyber‑espionage campaign against diplomats across Southeast Asia earlier this year. The attackers reportedly compromised around two dozen…
What if the loudest protest in 2025 isn’t in the streets—but on your screens? From takedowns of government portals to splashy website defacements and explosive data leaks, hacktivism has evolved from fringe phenomenon to front-page politics. It’s messy. It’s global. And it’s forcing governments, companies, and citizens to rethink what “protest” means in a digital-first…
If you follow cybersecurity, one stat this year should stop you in your tracks: Israeli cyber companies attracted 40% of all large U.S. investment rounds in 2024. That’s the headline finding from a new report by Startup Nation Central (SNC). It gets even more striking when you learn that cyber firms account for only 7%…
If you follow global justice, cybersecurity, or geopolitics, this one will make you pause: the International Criminal Court (ICC) says it detected and contained a “sophisticated and targeted” cyberattack. It’s the kind of incident that raises more questions than answers. Who’s behind it? What did they want? And could it affect high-profile cases that already…
What if your inbox could write itself—without losing your voice, empathy, or precision? Not in some sci‑fi future, but right now. While AI coders are busy pushing boundaries, there’s one place AI is already world‑class: email. Drafting. Summarizing. Translating. Personalizing. And doing it in minutes—not hours. Businesses that plug in ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Claude, or…
If you’ve ever wondered when Google would stop playing defense and go right at Apple, this was the week. In New York, Google didn’t just launch phones. It unveiled a confident, end-to-end Pixel ecosystem—designed, priced, and powered to compete—anchored by its biggest advantage: AI. The message was clear: the future of premium devices won’t be…
If a single line of code could lock thousands of employees out of their systems, would you catch it before it detonated? That’s the unsettling question raised by a recent Department of Justice case in which a longtime software developer deployed malicious code—including a “kill switch”—inside his employer’s network. When his access was later disabled,…
