Nothing surprising here, just a little depressing. Passwords are still ridiculously insecure.

Cognitive limitations in people can manifest as vulnerabilities in digital systems which are easily exploitable.

PMCs are organized mercenaries for hire. We see them in physical conflicts, but what about the cyber battlefields?

The Economist did a piece on PMCs but it misses the evolution of how cyber mercenaries are being used by governments to do battle in cyberspace

I recently noticed how many posts are created using #AI. Unfortunately, Sadly, it is undermining how the #cybersecurity community can work together.

For the record, I create all my own posts. The thoughts are original and the comments are my own (…the sarcasm and dry humor is a free bonus)!
