You and your team have spent months building a game-changing product. You’ve written thousands of lines of code, pushed feature after feature, and deployed updates like clockwork. Everything’s on track until one day, your entire codebase shows up on a public forum. Someone leaked your source code because your repository wasn’t secure. You must be aware that most breaches occur not because of a lack of tools, but due to poor practices.

Apple has now stopped signing iOS 18.5, now that it publicly released iOS 18.6 on July 29, 2025. Although this seems like a mundane decision, it holds important consequences, especially for power users, developers, and security researchers. For iOS 18.6 owners, downgrading to iOS 18.5 is no longer an option, baked into the way Apple has stopped signing iOS 18.5. Apple’s refusal to sign older versions makes any problem regarding restoring, installing, or downgrading to iOS 18.5 impossible.

You update your antivirus. You install that fancy EDR. You think you’re safe. But, surprise, Hackers are still getting in without triggering a single alarm. By hijacking trusted apps and making them load malicious code, voluntarily. This sneaky move is called DLL Sideloading, and it’s becoming the cybercriminal’s favourite backdoor. Sounds horrifying? It is. But here’s the good news for you. If you understand how DLL sideloading works, you can catch it before it wrecks your system.

In a stark reminder of the increasing risk to software supply chains, freelance talent platform Toptal is the latest high-profile organization impacted by a compromise of a GitHub account that led to the deployment of malicious npm packages with the capability to wipe developer machines and steal passwords. The breach, first disclosed last week, has shocked the developer community and exposed serious flaws in repository security, disclosure practices, and package ecosystem hygiene.

In a world of digital security and authentication, JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) have risen as a secure and lightweight way to transmit user information between services. JWTs are used for everything from single sign-on to API authorization, and they play a key role in modern web development. This article will answer the questions of what JWTs are, how they work, and how to use them securely, while referencing five leading articles on the topic.

Microsoft just made history. But not the kind you’re used to. For nearly four decades, the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) haunted Windows users. One minute you’re sipping coffee. Next, your screen goes blue with a sad emoji and cryptic codes. However, Microsoft has now officially pulled the plug on this iconic crash screen.

Microsoft has now launched the public preview of the Azure DevOps Model Context Provider (MCP) Server in a brave attempt to change developer productivity. With this newly introduced capability, GitHub Copilot in Agent Mode can directly access a developer’s Azure DevOps project data and allow the developer to interact with its data and functions via the natural language commands provided by the Copilot, within the developer’s coding environment, such as Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio.

The move to remove PowerShell 2.0 from Windows 11 is strategic and long overdue. Microsoft is making this move to embrace modern, secure, and efficient system tools. PowerShell 2.0 has many inherent security issues tied to the deprecated framework and its reliance on deprecated encryption & validation protocols.

Keeping your software secure has become more important than ever due to various types of cybersecurity threats. If you are thinking about what measures you can take to protect it, then Continuous Signing in CI/CD is one way. Continuous Signing in CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) is a method that helps ensure that your code and data are protected throughout the development process.

Code integrity guarantees that software code remains uncorrupted, authentic, and protected throughout the lifetime of that software. Code integrity also protects software from changes made without proper authorization for malicious attack purposes through the installation of back doors, which is a simple form of malware, initiating unauthorized updates.
