If you’ve heard “blockchain is unhackable,” you’re not alone. It’s a comforting idea—and it’s also wrong. Blockchains power cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and decentralized apps, but attackers keep finding weak spots: majority (51%) attacks on small proof-of-work chains, smart contract bugs that drain treasuries, and cross-chain bridge exploits that move funds faster than an exchange withdrawal. Here’s…
If you woke up tomorrow to find a confidential board deck leaked online—or your CEO’s email sending “urgent” messages at 2 a.m.—would you assume a random hacker got lucky? Or something more targeted? Increasingly, the answer is neither lone-wolf criminals nor shadowy government spies. It’s cyber mercenaries: private operators who sell hacking-for-hire services to whoever…
Imagine every traffic light in your neighborhood flashing green at once. Or a water plant suddenly changing chemical levels without a technician touching a dial. It sounds cinematic, but it’s not fiction. As cities become “smart” — layering sensors, connectivity, and software on top of physical infrastructure — the attack surface for hackers grows fast….
What would you do if flipping a light switch did nothing? Or if your tap water smelled wrong, and the city told you not to drink it? That’s not a movie plot. It’s the kind of real-world disruption a cyberattack on critical infrastructure can cause. Power grids, water treatment plants, pipelines, and transportation networks now…
If you think cyberattacks are random acts of chaos, here’s the twist: most hacks are business decisions. Attackers run budgets. They look at ROI. They choose targets to maximize profit with minimal risk. It’s not personal—it’s economics. That lens changes everything. Once you see cybercrime as a global underground market—complete with supply chains, partnerships, and…
What if your biggest cybersecurity risk already has a badge, a laptop, and a login? That’s the uncomfortable reality of insider threats—when employees, contractors, or partners abuse access to steal, leak, sabotage, or simply mishandle sensitive data. And here’s the twist: in many of the worst breaches, the warning signs were there. They were just…
If a ransomware note landed on your screen tomorrow, how much would it cost you—today, next week, and six months from now? For many companies, the honest answer is “more than we can absorb.” That’s why cyber insurance has exploded in popularity. It promises a financial backstop when the worst happens. But here’s the catch:…
What if your network could set traps that attackers eagerly walk into—and then tell you exactly what they tried to do? That’s the promise of honeypots. They look like real systems. They attract real attackers. And they flip the script by turning intrusions into intelligence. If you’ve ever wished for earlier detection, clearer signals than…
If protest signs once lived on sidewalks, they now flash across websites, timelines, and servers. When a cause spills onto the internet and uses hacking tactics to make a point, you’re looking at hacktivism. It’s messy. It’s controversial. And it’s changing how movements—and cybersecurity—work. You’ve likely seen headlines about Anonymous or a “digital army” taking…
If a hospital’s computers went dark for a day, what would it cost? Not just in dollars—but in delayed care, diverted ambulances, missed diagnoses, and patient anxiety. That’s the reality of modern cyberattacks. Healthcare is now one of the most targeted sectors on the planet, and the risk isn’t abstract. When systems fail, care slows….
