Accuracy isn’t great, but that it can be done at all is impressive. Murtuza Jadiwala, a computer science professor heading the research project, said his team was able to identify the contents of texts by examining body movement of the participants. Specifically, they focused on the movement of their shoulders and arms to extrapolate the actions of their fingers as they typed.
Companies hit by ransomware often face a dual threat: Even if they avoid paying the ransom and can restore things from scratch, about half the time the attackers also threaten to release sensitive stolen data unless the victim pays for a promise to have the data deleted. Leaving aside the notion that victims might have any real expectation the attackers will actually destroy the stolen data, new research suggests a fair number of victims who do pay up may see some or all of the stolen data publi
I've had this blog post in draft for quite some time now, adding little bits to it as the opportunity presented itself. In a essence, it boils down to this: people expressing their displeasure when I post about a topic they're not interested in then deciding to have a whinge that my timeline isn't tailored to their expectation of the things they'd like me to talk about.
With three days to the US election, the outrage machines are running on all cylinders. It’ll be easier to stay happy if you remember to notice them. To be clear, I’m not using a metaphor. Websites from news to social media use data to drive stories. Twitter’s top tweets, Facebook’s timeline, your local newspaper, but also Linkedin, Medium, Buzzfeed, – all are focused on keeping you on their site as long as possible to show you as many ads as possible.
Many cybersecurity awareness platforms offer massive content libraries, yet they fail to enhance employees’ cyber resilience. Without structured, engaging, and personalized training, employees struggle to retain and apply key cybersecurity principles. Phished.io explains why organizations should focus on interactive, scenario-based learning rather than overwhelming employees with excessive content.
Google’s Project Zero has discovered and published a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Windows Kernel Cryptography Driver. The exploit doesn’t affect the cryptography, but allows attackers to escalate system privileges: Attackers were combining an exploit for it with a separate one targeting a recently fixed flaw in Chrome. The former allowed the latter to escape a security sandbox so the latter could execute code on vulnerable machines.
Two young men from the eastern United States have been hit with identity theft and conspiracy charges for allegedly stealing bitcoin and social media accounts by tricking employees at wireless phone companies into giving away credentials needed to remotely access and modify customer account information.

I think there are four main trends that will play out in the field of information security in the next 20 years. (2021-2030) A Surge in Demand for InfoSec people will result in many more professionals being trained and placed within companies, likely using more of a trade/certification model than a 4-year university model. (2026-) Cyberinsurance will ascend as the primary mechanism for making cybersecurity-related product and service decisions within companies. (2030-) Automation & AI will s
California’s Proposition 24, aimed at improving the California Consumer Privacy Act, passed this week. Analyses are very mixed. I was very mixed on the proposition, but on the whole I supported it. The proposition has some serious flaws, and was watered down by industry, but voting for privacy feels like it’s generally a good thing.

Research paper: Rick Wash, “ How Experts Detect Phishing Scam Emails “: Abstract: Phishing scam emails are emails that pretend to be something they are not in order to get the recipient of the email to undertake some action they normally would not. While technical protections against phishing reduce the number of phishing emails received, they are not perfect and phishing remains one of the largest sources of security risk in technology and communication systems.

How many people would you trust with your house keys?

We’re all honest and good people… well, at least most of us are. From a young age, we’re taught to always tell the truth and to never lie. However, our inherent honesty can be our own worst enemy when it comes to cybersecurity. We use our real names on sites, we upload our photos and share our holiday plans. Now, I’m not advocating that we create a fictitious life online and don’t share anything.
As Americans anxiously await clarity regarding final voting counts and results of yesterday's election, a new report found 26% of US consumers correlate who will win with how much they'll spend.
My post “Why is Threat Detection Hard?” proved to be one of the most popular in recent history of my new blog. In this post, I wanted to explore a seemingly obvious, while surprisingly fascinating aspect of detection: uncertainty. Uncertainty? Are you sure, Anton? :-) Well, maybe ! Let’s start our journey with exploring the classic fallacy, “if you can detect [the threat], why can’t you prevent it?
In a recent study, IDC found that 64% of organizations said they were already using open source in software development with a further 25% planning to in the next year. Most organizations are unaware of just how much open-source code is used and underestimate their dependency on it. As enterprises grow the use of open-source software, they face a new challenge: understanding the scope of open-source software that's being used throughout the organization and the corresponding exposure.
