Blockchain is trendy, has been for a while, and to be honest its not something I’ve had time to look at myself. All I tend to hear about are companies trying to find uses for that and/or machine learning, and the often shouted response of others saying its a solution looking for a problem outside it’s original sphere.

For a daily selection see our twitter feed at #ionCube24 I do love it when an artist decides to do some random thing which just shows up the tech nightmares we try to ignore. For example, last year we had the laptop with all the viruses on. Remember that? Well, here is a fun one which I’m sure will be replicated just to annoy people.

A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. For a daily selection see our twitter feed at #ionCube24 So far this month we’ve had quite a lot of spectacular breach announcements and the month ends on a big one. With such a large organisation it would leak eventually, no matter how hard they worked to cover it up. What everyone I suppose is now asking is ‘will there be any penalty?’:

The ionCube Encoder provides two ways to add licensing restrictions to encoded files. The method we encourage most is via license files as this provides the more efficient solution because you only need to encode your files once and then can generate a separate license file for each customer.

Cast your mind back to the Ashley Madison breach and the black-mailing of members revealed in that breach. I don’t recall another like it until recently. This time though, with how common ransomware has become, are we going to see more victims approached as well as the source of the data breach?

Well, the New Year didn’t get off to a good start for some. The most visible of them being Travelex as a result of an unpatched VPN solution. From there things have rapidly fallen apart, and it ain’t over yet…

A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. I certainly have some ‘wow’ items for you this week. The first just does not bear thinking about as to the potential impact this breach could have – it really is an horrorfic ‘wow’: We know that BEC fraud schemes hope to take pot luck at a busy employee’s lapse of proceedure, but when they really have you in their eyes, the grip can be just ‘wow’.

A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. Well what an amazing choice this week, it has been hard to choose. But this first one, one that appear just before I started writing this blog entry has to make it as the top story. It is so bizarre and a real first!

A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. Leaky bucket time once again. With so much effort by the providers to make it as hard as possible to accidentally expose data, then for the devs to try really hard to undo all of that because they are too lazy (or lack understanding) to do a proper job, is utterly mystifying.
