A digital chessboard with a king piece and a padlock symbolizes cybersecurity, with the text "Checkmate in the Digital Arena: Cybersecurity as the World's Grandmaster Game.

Opening Gambit In server farms across the globe, where cooling fans whisper and fiber optics carry secrets worth billions, an invisible war runs on schedule: always. No sirens. No smoke. Just the soft glow of dashboards and the quiet tick of logs rolling by. Yet the stakes couldn’t be higher. Welcome to cyberwarfare, where nations […]

Code Signing Meets the Quantum Revolution

Graphic with a hooded figure, a microchip labeled "QUANTUM," and text about code signing and security in the post-quantum cryptography era.

Every “Install” click is, at its core, an act of faith. We trust that the software before us, whether it’s a mobile app, an enterprise update, or an IoT firmware patch, comes from a legitimate source and hasn’t been tampered with. That invisible handshake of trust is made possible by code signing the digital seal […]

From Face Trust to Key Trust: A Near-Miss Autopsy

A man’s face is split in half, one side showing a realistic human, the other a digital mask, representing deepfake technology; “Read Now” and text about CEO deepfakes appear on the left.

Signal Lost: When a Deepfake Wears the CEO’s Face At 9:07 a.m., in a glass-boxed boardroom needled with rain, the CFO’s phone buzzes. On the screen appears Alex Morrow, the CEO, with the velocity of a drone strike and the bedside manner of a quarterly report. He looks a little pale. The camera sits a […]

Harvest now, Decrypt later

A graphic showing a hooded figure at a computer with the text: "Stealing for Tomorrow: Inside the Hackers’ 'Harvest Now, Decrypt Later' Strategy" and a "Read Now" button.

“Don’t open it now,” said BlackNode in a quiet, almost amused tone. The screen displayed a row of folders labelled with the names of global corporations, strategic contracts, corporate roadmaps, and client databases. All encrypted. “Let it sit,” he added. “Time will do the work for us.” In the encrypted group chat, small emojis appeared, […]

Masks convince. Signatures confirm

A person in a suit wearing a white mask manipulates strings above a digital document, with a glowing padlock and signature icon in the foreground. Text reads, "MASKS CONVINCE. SIGNATURES CONFIRM.

This isn’t a story about hackers. It’s a story about actors. And the masks they wear. The Meeting That Never Happened Conference call. Ten board members, tiled faces in boxes, their eyes bloodshot, expensive eyeglasses reflecting PowerPoint slides. The CFO clears his throat. Forecasts. Risk exposure. Liquidity ratios. His voice? Smooth. Familiar. Comforting, like an […]

Old spy games, new digital locks

A digital padlock icon with text: "Old Spy Games, New Digital Locks: How WWII Tradecraft Would Hack the 2025 Internet" and a "Read Now" button on a dark background.

Back when radio operators carried suitcases heavy enough to stop a bicycle, and the most feared algorithm in Europe was a small wooden box named Enigma, a field agent could survive by outwalking suspicion. You learned the rhythm of a city the way a pickpocket learns the pulse of a crowd, how to enter and […]

Identity Is the New Perimeter: Are You Protecting It?

A digital illustration shows a glowing key and shield with the text, “Who Holds the Keys to Your Organization’s Identity?” and a “Read Now” button.

We could start the article like this… “The Day Your CFO Became a Hacker.” It started on a Tuesday. By 10:17 AM, the CFO had wired $1.2 million to a bank account in Prague. By 10:22, the real CFO walked into the room. What happened in those five minutes wasn’t magic — it was identity […]

The Last Time Stamp

A man in glasses looks at a computer screen displaying a fingerprint and data, with the text "When Code Lies Quietly: A Story of Trust, Time, and Signatures" and a "Read Now" button.

It started with a file that looked like it was born to be boring: utils/normalize.ts. Fifty-one lines of tidy helpers. It trimmed strings, massaged object keys into camelCase, and carried a couple of TODOs like tiny postcards from a better future. The only thing that stood out about it was the smell, not code smell, […]

The new masters of deception

An elderly man and a hooded figure with digital files overlayed, next to the text "The New Masters of Deception" and a "Read Now" button.

Prologue – The Man Who Painted Lies Picture Amsterdam in the 1930s. The streets smell of fresh coffee, a light rain taps on windowpanes, and in a small studio, a man with a mischievous glint in his eye wields a paintbrush. His name is Han van Meegeren. He had talent in spades — but the […]
