Digital ID could lead to “the worst data breach in UK government history”.

Despite fierce opposition, the UK government is embarking on a digital surveillance infrastructure that has fundamental cybersecurity holes in its foundations.

We must say #NotoDigitalID.

I am urgently looking for work. My unemployment ends soon and my family is approaching eviction. With Christmas near and kids in the house, the pressure has become extremely difficult. I’ve been interviewing since September and reached multiple final rounds, but have not secured a role yet.

I have over 15 years of experience in Cyber Threat Intelligence, OSINT, Social Engineering, Security Engineering, Vulnerability Management, and detection rule development. I’ve built CTI programs, developed Python automation, improved workflows, supported investigations, and authored Practical Social Engineering. I hold a US patent for a cybersecurity reconnaissance system.

I can support Sales and Sales Engineering teams as a subject matter expert when needed, adding technical depth and threat context to customer conversations. I also write white papers, blogs, and podcast material and speak regularly on security topics. Locally, I am a USCCA certified firearms instructor.

I am open to full time roles or contract work. Referrals and introductions are deeply appreciated as Christmas approaches.

What’s data protection law got to do with the UK budget?

Information security requirements contained within are key to growth.

Just look at how the Jaguar Land Rover cyber attack hurt the UK economy.

That’s why the data watchdog must start enforcing these rules properly.

Seeing safeguards over our data as barriers to growth is folly.

The UK's new Data Act has put into question the adequacy agreement with the EU.

Losing it would impose £1-1.6 billion in legal and compliance costs on UK businesses alone, as well as threaten EU-UK trade agreements and the Windsor Framework.

The UK government must take cybersecurity seriously to get growth.

Key to this is strong encryption for all.

They must put guarantees in the UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill and quit trying to force a backdoor into secure systems like they did with Apple.

Otherwise we'll be open to more attacks.

The UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill is also a chance to assess and reduce the UK’s dependence on large US corporations for vital government infrastructure.

Other countries like France and the Netherlands are already debating how to do this, such as through open source software.

As we saw with the AWS outage, we need digital sovereignty to keep the UK economy switched on.

Increasingly, @signalapp is being criticized by governments and users alike though the only successful compromises have been through bad actors being added to group chats accidentally.

Do NOT follow the narrative that you should move to another chat app if having life-or-death chats. Signal is the ONLY chat app with proper #security for those conversations: #PostQuantumEncryption, #PerfectForwardSecrecy, and a proven track record of privacy in court.

The final straw – the Information Commissioner's Office has decided NOT to investigate the Afghan data leak.

It's time to investigate them!

Over 70 organisations and experts back ORG's call for an inquiry into the regulator's chronic failure to enforce UK data laws.

@hacks4pancakes Strange how in a country with so many tech experts they couldn't find women speakers.

Recently I attended #Kawaiicon2025 a #Cybersecurity / #InfoSec conference in Aotearoa New Zealnd, a country with just over 5Million people living here. They found an assortment credible and interesting speakers who were men or women or nonbinary (NB). Same with panels. And organisers which helps. The participating audience was still more Men than Women or NB but anyone attending would have found peers.

A fully sponsored Girl Geek Dinner pre-con welcoming event was also held.

Calling out manels (all male panels) is brave work and it's helpful when men do the "Do Better" call.

Alleged Scattered Spider members Thalha Jubair and Owen Flowers who are both charged with the TransportForLondon cyberattack, pleaded not guilty in Southwark Crown Court in London today. The judge has set a trial date of June 8, 2026 for them, and they continue to be detained on remand.

Flowers is also charged with conspiring to damage the network of SSM Health Care Corporation and attempting to do the same to Sutter Health, both U.S. healthcare entities. He pleaded not guilty to those charges, too.

Jubair also faces an additional charge of not providing his password to investigators when they seized his devices.

How does letting children have wallets on their phones link up with those trying to prevent children and therefore everyone from having #cybersecurity?

More speakers:
Roberto Viola, Director-General, DG Networks, Content and Technology, EC
Kristina Yasuda, Product Owner, SPRIND
Anne-Gaëlle Baudouin, Executive Director, ANTS
Agnès Diallo, CEO, IN Groupe
Oliver Lauer, CDO, Deutscher Sparkassen- und Giroverband

Am I the only one who doesn't like having my phone near readers? Is this really all cybersecure in all circumstances? I feel a lot safer waving cards and circulating cash #digitalsovereignty #cybersecurity #digitalWallet #personalSecurity

Chrome now wants to store and autofill your driver’s license and other ID info.

From a cybersecurity perspective, that is a hard no from me. Info-stealer malware already targets browser autofill, and you cannot rotate a driver’s license number like a password. Putting high value IDs in the most targeted consumer app on the planet is a bad trade for a little convenience.

I wrote up why this feature is such a risky idea and what I recommend instead:

NHS investigating potential breach after ransomware group claims breach of Oracle E-Business Suite

The UK's National Health Service is investigating a potential breach after the Cl0p ransomware group claimed to have exploited CVE-2025-61882, a critical unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in Oracle's E-Business Suite. The attack is part of a broader campaign affecting over 40 organizations since October. The NHS has not yet confirmed whether any data was stolen.

"Remember when you thought age verification laws couldn't get any worse? Well, lawmakers in Wisconsin, Michigan, and beyond are about to blow you away.

It's unfortunately no longer enough to force websites to check your government-issued ID before you can access certain content, because politicians have now discovered that people are using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to protect their privacy and bypass these invasive laws. Their solution? Entirely ban the use of VPNs.

Yes, really.

As of this writing, Wisconsin lawmakers are escalating their war on privacy by targeting VPNs in the name of “protecting children” in A.B. 105/S.B. 130. It’s an age verification bill that requires all websites distributing material that could conceivably be deemed “sexual content” to both implement an age verification system and also to block the access of users connected via VPN. The bill seeks to broadly expand the definition of materials that are “harmful to minors” beyond the type of speech that states can prohibit minors from accessing—potentially encompassing things like depictions and discussions of human anatomy, sexuality, and reproduction.

This follows a notable pattern: As we’ve explained previously, lawmakers, prosecutors, and activists in conservative states have worked for years to aggressively expand the definition of “harmful to minors” to censor a broad swath of content: diverse educational materials, sex education resources, art, and even award-winning literature."
