Cyber attacks are becoming more frequent and more expensive because criminals are still getting paid. Despite growing awareness, the economics of ransomware still favour attackers. Only 17% of UK organisations hit by ransomware chose to pay, but even among those who do pay, outcomes remain unreliable. According to UK‑wide data, oranisations are now three times more likely to recover from backups

Harbor cities understand accumulated risk. Cargo moves in quietly. Weather shifts by degrees. One bad assumption can sit unnoticed until it reaches critical mass. Halifax has lived with that kind of memory for more than a century. On December 6, 1917, a collision in Halifax Harbor triggered the largest man-made explosion prior to the atomic bomb, a disaster that directly changed the lives of over
Manual content discovery is a core skill in application security testing. Instead of relying only on automated scanners, you can use simple HTTP requests and browser tools to find exposed files, hidden paths, and technology fingerprints. This covers techniques like checking robots.txt, fingerprinting favicons, reading sitemap.xml, inspecting HTTP headers, and spotting framework markers in HTML sou
We Cut Compliance Costs by 40% Using Pulumi 3.140 and Chef 18 for Multi-Cloud AWS and GCP Modern multi-cloud environments offer unmatched flexibility, but they also introduce complex compliance challenges. For our team managing hybrid infrastructure across AWS and GCP, manual policy enforcement and fragmented tooling were driving up compliance costs by 22% year-over-year. By integrating Pulumi 3
The technical analysis of EtherRAT by Atos TRC is detailed and useful. SEO poisoning, fake GitHub repositories, Node.js payloads, blockchain-based C2 — all of this is correctly identified. Source LinkedIn Source CyberPress But there is a pattern beneath these techniques that the report does not name. The attackers did not exploit a cryptographic flaw. They did not break a protocol. They exploited
