I still believe in patching. Let me get that out of the way first.Patching is one of the most basic security controls we have, and it is basic for a reason. If a vendor ships a fix for a vulnerability that attackers are using in the...
The vibeA shorter and slightly slower week. The Memorial Day weekend was a nice reset, summer break meant calmer mornings, and I still found time to write a few articles. Nothing too dramatic, which is not a bad thing at all.Highlights🌞...
I’m back with Season 2, Part 1 of the Home Network and Devices track in my CybersecKyle Security How-To Series. This time we’re making the router boring, predictable, and harder to abuse: admin lock down, sane Wi-Fi settings, guest...
OverviewThis week had a very practical theme: the boring systems that run websites, endpoints, identity, and developer workflows are still the easiest places for attackers to turn one weak spot into a larger incident. The loudest stories...
I like passkeys. Let me get that out of the way first.Passkeys are one of the better authentication improvements we have seen in years. They reduce password reuse, make phishing harder, and remove one of the ugliest parts of account...
The vibeThis week had a little bit of everything: proud dad moments, focused work, website tinkering, Formula 1, and the return of my weekly cybersecurity roundup. It felt busy, but in the good kind of way where several things actually...
I recently had one of those RMM alerts that looks simple at first, but immediately turns into a small rabbit hole. The alert was for a potential disk failure, and the important part of the event log message looked like this: The driver...
Overview This week had a very clear pattern: attackers and researchers kept circling the tools that sit closest to trust. Endpoint protection, CMS platforms, VPNs, cloud identities, developer tooling, and admin planes all showed up in...
I have always liked that RSS is boring in the best possible way. It does not need a recommendation engine. It does not need a timeline ranking model. It does not care whether a platform wants to show someone my post today. A feed is just...
Agentic AI is not scary because it can write a better paragraph than a chatbot from two years ago. It is scary because it can read, decide, click, call tools, remember context, and take action inside systems we already struggle to...
Just another late weekly notes… It was a busy weekend and first of this week, it almost escaped my mind. The vibe A full, proud, slightly chaotic family week. Between the college graduation, the party, the choir concert, and the quick...
The vibe A slower, slightly worn-down week that still found a little room for rest, tinkering, and small wins. Highlights 🥵 Last week was quite warm/hot. This whole winter/spring actually has been pretty warm. I am not looking forward to...
I have been getting versions of this question for a while now on Mastodon and elsewhere, so I figured it was finally worth answering in one place. Every time a major cybersecurity story breaks, there is a rush. A new breach. A new...
A browser that decrypts your full saved-password vault at launch and leaves it in process memory is not delivering secure convenience. It is widening the blast radius after compromise, and calling that by design does not make it a good...
Anthropic’s latest Chrome extension issue deserves more attention than a quick “vendor patched a bug” headline. As CyberScoop reported, researchers say Claude’s browser extension could be hijacked by another extension, including one with...
