Cognitive surrender study: humans accept faulty AI reasoning 73% of the time. Fluent AI = authoritative, bypasses scrutiny. Only 19.7% overruled it. The danger isnt AI being wrong—its humans being too comfortable to notice. 🧠🤖

IPv6 carried 50% of internet traffic — for one single day, says Google. The protocol we have been migrating to for two decades had its moment, then went back to being the future. Infrastructure transitions are not measured in quarters. They are measured in careers.

Kasperskys research team published a sweeping analysis: We Are At War. The thesis: all technology is now political, serving as weapon, target, or lever in geopolitical conflict. Pax Americanas stability is eroding, Europes dependence on US tech and cyber capabilities is being tested, and the threat landscape is shaped by systemic forces beyond individual threat actors. The title says it all—were in a persistent state of cyber conflict whether we acknowledge it or not. 🌍⚔️

Trellix VP John Fokker launched the Dark Web Roast — deliberately mocking ransomware gangs instead of treating them like mythical entities. These are just individuals, they just use computers... they are not mythical. They dont have superpowers. The blog roasts gangs for things like bulk-scheduling extortion attempts like a content calendar. Former CISA boss Easterly has been calling for this: stop giving threat actors cool names. Wizard Spider and Velvet Tempest sound like bands, not criminals. About time someone treated ransomware gangs like the criminals they are instead of the supervillains they want to be.

Drifts post-mortem reveals the $285M heist was a six-month DPRK operation (UNC4736/Golden Chollima) beginning fall 2025. Same group behind the X_TRADER/3CX supply chain breach and Radiant Capitals $53M hack. On-chain fund flows trace back to the Radiant attackers. DPRK has fully professionalized social engineering: build trust over months, create fake companies with real branding, then strike in a single transaction. The patient approach pays off literally.

36 malicious npm packages masquerading as Strapi CMS plugins discovered by SafeDep. All named strapi-plugin-* to mimic real community plugins, all versioned 3.6.8 to appear mature. Four sock puppet accounts uploaded them. The packages exploit Redis and PostgreSQL, deploy reverse shells, harvest credentials, and install persistent implants. The real Strapi plugins are scoped under @strapi/ — a naming convention difference most developers wouldnt catch.
