If the last decade put life on our screens, the next one will put our lives on-chain and in 3D. Wallets might replace passwords. Digital items could move with us across apps. Meetings might happen in persistent virtual spaces that feel more like places than pages. It sounds exciting—and a little overwhelming. You’re not alone…
If you think “cybersecurity career” means SOC analyst by day and pentester by night, you’re about to get a pleasant jolt. The field is expanding, splintering, and leveling up. Cloud-first infrastructure, AI-native apps, relentless ransomware, and new regulations are reshaping both the threats and the teams who defend against them. Here’s the real shift: security…
You’ve seen it a dozen times: neon code rains down the screen, someone types at light speed, alarms blare, and—bam—the hacker “breaks in.” It’s thrilling. It’s cinematic. And it’s often very wrong. But here’s the twist: the real story of hacking is not boring. It’s more subtle, more human, and in many ways more dramatic…
If you’ve ever received a “We’ve been breached” email, you probably thought: Okay… but what does that actually mean for me? Here’s the uncomfortable truth: when a company gets hacked, your information doesn’t vanish. It often gets packaged, priced, and posted in places most people will never see—underground forums, dark web marketplaces, and private channels…
Picture this: you’re cruising in a self-driving car, coffee in hand, eyes on the horizon. Then a thought hits—if this car makes decisions by itself and talks to the internet, could someone else talk to it too? Could a hacker take the wheel? That question isn’t paranoia. It’s smart. Autonomous vehicles (AVs) blend complex software,…
Some people change the world by building new things. Others change it by breaking what we thought was unbreakable. The most infamous hackers did both—challenging the limits of technology while exposing the limits of our security. If you’ve ever wondered why certain names—Kevin Mitnick, Adrian Lamo, Anonymous, REvil—still echo through cybersecurity, this is for you….
Imagine this: you’re making dinner when your smart speaker starts playing music you didn’t request. Later, a strange voice crackles through a baby monitor. A camera LED blinks even though the app shows it’s off. Creepy? Absolutely. Rare? Less than you’d think. Smart homes promise convenience. But they also widen the attack surface for hackers,…
Most of us live our online lives on the surface web—search, social, streaming, news. But beneath that visible layer sits something far larger: the deep web. It’s not a spooky hacker’s playground. It’s just everything search engines can’t or don’t index. Yes, the dark web lives down there too. But it’s a small slice, not…
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…
