CPradio ·

2024/08/13

In the grand scheme of cybersecurity, the design issue in Foxit PDF Reader was really very minor. But it revealed a much larger and more impactful phenomenon that we’ll probably have to deal with for as long as there are computers around: the instinct to click ‘Ok’.

CPradio ·

2023/12/06

For years now, Iran’s state-sponsored hackers have been some of the most prolific in the world. But prolific does not necessarily mean sophisticated -- its attacks haven’t quite impressed in the way that the U.S., Russia, and China’s do. But in a campaign recently uncovered by CheckPoint, one Iranian APT unleashed tools and tactics unlike anything we’ve seen from the country before. If before they were at the kids’ table, this latest campaign suggests that they might have just moved up.

Between corporations, governments, and the rest of us, billions are spent every year trying to secure cyberspace.

And yet, that is exactly what happened a year ago today.
