Cybersecurity insights, tutorials, research and industry updates.
The most feared vulnerability of the 2020s has a new name. Prompt injection turns an attacker's words into instructions for trusted systems. How it works, why it keeps succeeding, and what it means for every application that talks to a large language model.
The most patient attack in AI targets data the victim never saw: the training corpus. A few thousand injected examples can teach a model to misbehave only on cue. How training data poisoning works, why it is nearly invisible, and how to defend a supply chain made of text.
Every conversation you have with an AI assistant is data the model carries somewhere. In context windows, in training corpora, in vector stores. The paths by which language models leak what users told them, and what it takes to keep secrets out of a system that remembers everything.
A few pixels of noise, an imperceptible change in an image, a token substituted in a sentence — and a model that was 99% accurate suddenly fails. Adversarial attacks exploit the gap between how models see the world and how the world actually is.
AI agents are the first software that acts on your behalf with tools, credentials, and the ability to iterate. They are also the first software whose actions cannot be fully predicted from its code. The permission model for agents is broken, and nobody has fixed it yet.
Voice cloning has reached the point where a few seconds of audio is enough to forge a convincing call. Banks, executives, and families have already been fooled. When synthetic media makes the strongest evidence of identity unreliable, what remains as proof of anything?
A model registry is a repository of binaries, and most organizations treat it like a public download server. Weights, datasets, and training code are assembled from strangers on the internet with no signing, no provenance, and no inventory. Why ML pipelines are the software supply chain of the next decade.
Every modern application is assembled from hundreds of components it did not write. Software Bills of Materials were supposed to fix supply chain blindness. Why most SBOMs end up as files nobody reads, and what it would take to make them useful.
Package managers resolve names to code, and names are just strings. The dependency confusion attack exploits the gap between the name you think you're installing and the registry that actually answers. How it works, why it keeps succeeding, and how to check whether your build is vulnerable.
The entire open-source supply chain reduces to a handful of maintainers and their keys. When those accounts are compromised, the attack looks like a normal release. How maintainer compromise works, why signing keys make it worse, and how to survive a poisoned upstream.
The CI/CD pipeline is where untrusted code meets trusted credentials. Every commit, pull request, and dependency flows through it — and so does every secret your release needs. Why build pipelines are the crown jewel of the supply chain, and how attackers poison them.
Signing an artifact means this is exactly what was released, by someone we trust. The practice is decades old, the tools are mature, and most artifacts still ship unsigned. Why signing keeps losing to convenience, what it actually protects, and how to make it the default.
Some of the most trusted code on the internet has no maintainer. Abandoned libraries, archived repos, and packages whose owner stopped responding years ago quietly underpin production systems everywhere. The risks of zombie dependencies and the unglamorous work of feeding the dead.
A clean build tells you the code compiles. It tells you nothing about who wrote it, or how it got here. Code provenance — the forensic history of how a binary came to be — is the frontier where supply chain security meets digital archaeology.
The internet runs on an unspoken contract that every clock agrees. Explore what happens when accurate time disappears — certificate cascades, forensic timeline collapse, and the hidden dependencies nobody monitors.
The most elegant way to corrupt a system's clock is to never touch the system at all. How attackers manipulate time at the network, physical, and radio layers without ever compromising a host.
GNSS satellites are the world's clock, and spoofing them is cheap. The systems quietly dependent on GNSS time — power grids, finance, telecom, the internet itself — and what happens when the sky lies.
Every few years the world's clocks gain a second. That tiny correction has broken flight reservation systems, NTP hierarchies, and Linux kernels. What leap seconds reveal about the fragility of timekeeping at scale.
Distributed systems were built for Byzantine failure of machines — but not of clocks. When nodes disagree about time, consensus, security, and correctness all silently collapse. A field guide to time as an untrusted input.
Financial markets run on microsecond-precision timestamps — and on the assumption that those timestamps are honest. When the clock that orders trades is attacker-controlled, the entire audit trail is attacker-controlled too.
Atomic clocks are strategic infrastructure now. Whoever controls the world's reference time controls the trust of every synchronized system. Who owns the clocks, who wants to own them, and why timekeeping is quietly geopolitical.
