Smoke from Nicaraguan cigars choked out the room as a heavy-set Bitcoin miner from the Deep South explained how the industry was expanding at an exponential rate. “You have no idea,” he said at this year’s Mining Disrupt pre-party in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, before following up with the common Bitcoiner maxim—repeated by President Trump on the campaign trail—that you should never sell your stash.Having been involved in the space since the early days, he recalled buying a Ferrari with orange coins years ago, which he said—with a laugh—he now regretted following the asset’s stratospheric rise. Bitcoin hasn’t stopped climbing over the years…

In a security breach that has created Washington’s latest named scandal, Signalgate, top Trump Administration officials accidentally added a journalist to a Signal chat group discussing sensitive military operations against Houthi targets in Yemen. The breach has raised serious questions about operational security and the use of encrypted messaging apps within the government. Signal is an open source, encrypted application used for messaging, voice calls and video calls developed by the non-profit Signal Foundation. According to The Atlantic Editor in Chief Jeffrey Goldberg, he knew about the planned bombing of Houthi targets “two hours before the first bombs exploded” on…

The rise of generative AI has changed the landscape of bot traffic, with automated users of informational web content now outnumbering humans, according to new research from F5. The 2025 Advanced Persistent Bots Report analysed 207 billion web and API transactions from November 2023 to September 2024. It examined records from customers with existing bot defenses in place, demonstrating how automated traffic operators behave when confronted with countermeasures. The report found that 50.04% of page requests for web content1 were from automated sources, compared to 22.3% of search requests on web and 21.5% of ‘add to cart’ transactions. It suggests…
Kent Ickler // Because, you know—that should be a thing. TL;DR: Don’t run the Unifi Controller on a laptop in the closet. BACKGROUND Ubiquiti’s Unifi controller is a network device, or software service, that controls Ubiquiti’s Unifi line of devices. Unifi is a brand of devices that, well, unify together to make a better user experience for network users and system admins in the SMB arena. We’ll leave that up to your own opinion, but we’ve used the devices and they work alright. DISCLAIMER I’m not here to comment on the controller’s software design from a security perspective. Ubiquiti pays security experts to do that. That’s not me or BHIS. …
Over the past 15 years, cyberattacks have escalated dramatically. What began as isolated data breaches has evolved into sophisticated operations targeting critical infrastructure and serving intelligence-gathering objectives. The turning point came in April 2007, when Estonia faced a coordinated series of DDoS attacks, which disrupted government websites, online banking services, and communication networks altogether. Since then, cyberattacks have been recognized as strategic threats capable of undermining national stability. Yet, their scale and impact continue to grow at a rate that outpaces expectations. In the third quarter of 2024, cyberattacks worldwide surged by 75% compared to the same period in 2023. This amounts to ~1876…
History has taught us that trust must always be complemented by verification. It is replete with examples demonstrating the importance of pressures of greed over taking ethical practices even in dealings involving highly reputed and seemingly dependable parties. It is then incumbent upon chief operations officers (COO’s) to enable critical mechanisms that ensure accountability, transparency, and ethical compliance in the processes and regularly monitor and review them in terms of ensuring best practices. A summer 2023 incident involving the aviation sector which impacted both GE Aerospace and its partner, Safran, is a good example of why this is true. It turns out…
