The following is a guest post and opinion from Sergii Malomuzh, Founder of Rewump.War-torn nations are among the most financially marginalized regions in the world: destructive conflicts impact people’s living standards and harm local economies. With traditional banking often inaccessible, digital assets emerge as crucial legal tender in conflict zones.Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin (BTC) to empower people with peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions free from centralized oversight. Bitcoin has inspired other digital currencies, including stablecoins, which serve as the last hope for people living in war-affected countries.Despite the challenges in crypto adoption, ranging from regulatory concerns to user literacy, the asset class…
Understanding the Vitality of Non-Human Identities in Healthcare Data Protection What if you could significantly diminish security risks in your healthcare organization while enhancing operational efficiency? Non-human identities (NHIs) and Secrets Security Management offer the answer to that pressing question. When the dynamics of securing sensitive data continue to evolve, the role of NHIs in healthcare data protection takes center stage. NHIs are digital identities associated with machines and applications instead of humans. They are often created by combining a unique identifier, referred to as a “Secret” (akin to a passport), and the permissions granted to that Secret (similar to…
The modern Security Operations Center (SOC) faces an ever-growing tide of data, fueled by the explosion of connected devices, cloud migration, and increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks while the growing impact of automation and artificial intelligence remains vital to achieving a robust and efficient SOC. SOC teams should aim to shift from conventional approaches filled with constraints and limitations; and actively look for opportunities to optimize processes, capabilities and outcomes. This article explores how these technologies can transform the SOC, enabling faster threat detection, incident response, and ultimately, a more proactive security operation. Data: The Fuel of Modern Security Data is key…
Hello and welcome. My name is John Strand, and in this video, we’re going to talk a little bit about HoneyBadger. Now, in a number of other videos and a number of other things whenever you’re talking about attribution or cyber deception, you can focus on creating documents or elements that’ll beacon back and many times you can collect the IP address that’s making the beacon. That’s okay, but IP address geolocation isn’t all that hot, but we can do better, and we have a specific tool that was created by our very own Bradley at Black Hills Information Security…
In everyday life, AI integration rapidly changes traditional consumers’ shopping experiences, changes work scenarios at work spots, and health provision. With the impacts that AI strikes to the world, many changes develop due to its use; however, the involvement in decision-making attracts critical challenges on its ethical usage and data security. This article will examine the relationship between cybersecurity and the wider framework of governance surrounding AI, the importance of that link, and strategies through which this very important area-ethical, secure, and fair operation of AI systems-can be maintained. Artificial Intelligence in Decision-Making: The Importance of Governance Artificial intelligence systems…
Public exploits are now available for a critical Erlang/OTP SSH vulnerability tracked as CVE-2025-32433, allowing unauthenticated attackers to remotely execute code on impacted devices. Researchers at the Ruhr University Bochum in Germany disclosed the flaw on Wednesday, warning that all devices running the daemon were vulnerable. “The issue is caused by a flaw in the SSH protocol message handling which allows an attacker to send connection protocol messages prior to authentication,” reads a disclosure on the OpenWall vulnerability mailing list. The flaw was fixed in versions 25.3.2.10 and 26.2.4, but as the paltform is commonly used in telecom infrastructure, databases, and high-availability systems, it may…
“No other vendor could meet these timeframes of having the infrastructure in place to meet this urgent requirement and deliver a prototype in less than six months,” ICE says in the document.ICE’s document does not specify the data sources Palantir would pull from to power ImmigrationOS. However, it says that Palantir could “configure” the case management system that it has provided to ICE since 2014.Palantir has done work at various other government agencies as early as 2007. Aside from ICE, it has worked with the US Army, Air Force, Navy, Internal Revenue Service, and Federal Bureau of Investigation. As reported…

Hello, my name is John Strand. In this video, we’re going to be talking about ROT or rotate. Why exactly are we talking about one specific thing? Well, this particular video is used with our Cyber Range that we’re establishing at Black Hills Information Security and it’s very common when you’re pentesting or you’re doing any type of cyber range activity or capture the flag to encounter a variety of different types of encoding and ROT is just one of them. Specifically, we’re going to talk about ROT 13. You can also see ROT 47 but we’re going to be…
