Proof of Life in a Dead Internet
If you work in security, you spend your time in things that are very obviously real: users forgetting passwords, weird processes on a box at 3 a.m., logs that won’t parse, malware that absolutely does execute when you run it in the wrong place. Against that backdrop, “Dead Internet Theory” sounds stupid on its face.…

Someone Is Using Your Computer Right Now. You Just Can’t See It.
You’re sitting at your desk. Working. Maybe on a spreadsheet. Maybe answering emails. Your screen looks normal. Your machine is running fine. Nothing feels off. And on the exact same machine, at the exact same moment, an attacker is logged into your internal systems, browsing your files, and staging their next move. Not on a…

Spiderman – Your Friendly Neighborhood Phishing Kit
For a long time, phishing survived because it was good enough. It didn’t need to be perfect. It just needed to catch the distracted, the rushed, or the unlucky. We were trained to look for the “tells.” Bad grammar didn’t matter to the attacker. Broken layouts didn’t matter. Even getting blocked didn’t matter, because the…

The AI Model Too Dangerous to Release
Claude Mythos Preview found vulnerabilities that survived 27 years and 5 million automated tests. And they’re not releasing it to the public. Let me paint a picture for you. A software vulnerability has been sitting inside OpenBSD — one of the most security-hardened operating systems on the planet, the kind of OS used to run…

The AI Paradox: We’re Paying to Leak Our Own Data
For decades, we’ve built fortresses around our data. Firewalls, encryption, SOC teams, compliance frameworks – billions spent just to keep attackers out. Now, we’re paying subscriptions to hand over the keys. This is the paradox that requires our urgent attention. In the name of convenience and productivity, we are funding the very pipelines that deliver…

The Bug Is the Doorway. The Agent Is the Burglar.
On March 10, 2026, Microsoft patched CVE-2026-26144. It’s an XSS bug in Excel. CVSS 7.5. On paper, medium-severity, the kind of thing that used to mean a stolen session cookie and a compliance ticket. This one doesn’t steal cookies. A malicious payload embedded in a spreadsheet fires when Excel renders it, hijacks Copilot Agent, and…

The Comfort of Something That Can’t Feel
Be honest—when did you last let a person see you? Not a DM. Not a tidy paragraph drafted by a model. I mean the messy kind: your voice catching, the dumb joke you had to explain twice, the silence where you weren’t sure what came next, and they stayed anyway. Lately, many of us have…

The Unspoken Cost of Perfection: Inside the High-Gain Control Loop That Killed My Live Cyber Art Project
I’ll start with the part most people hide: I didn’t finish this. The spare box is still on my bench. After about a dozen wipes, it’s closer to the trash than the wall. If there isn’t a project in motion—not a task list, a build—my head starts to ring. I don’t unwind; I scan. I…

The Illusion of Safety
The biggest danger in cybersecurity isn’t malware — it’s the illusion of safety. Recent DDoS attacks, from Cloudflare to HTTPBot, prove that compromised devices with “protection” still get weaponized. The Cybersecurity world has been buzzing about massive DDoS attacks. Some, like the recent record-breaking Cloudflare incident, were fueled mainly by misused cloud servers. But we…

The Silence Is the Strategy: How the Hiring Process Steals Your Leverage
There is a set of rules everyone hands you when you start looking for a job: keep applying, build your resume, be patient, stay professional. None of it sounds wrong. Most of it even helps at first—not because it leads anywhere, but because it gives you motion. And when you're between roles, motion feels like…
