Hacker Noon Cybersecurity

DMARCbis is intended for Proposed Standard status and, if approved, would obsolete RFC 7489. Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo have “captured a great number of headlines” by rolling out strict sender requirements that rely heavily on DMARC, SPF, and DKIM.Read All

Claude Code Security is a new AI-powered system designed to identify and fix software vulnerabilities automatically. Announcement triggered investor concerns that advanced AI tools could disrupt traditional cybersecurity products.Read All

When trust no longer requires engagement, it also no longer produces accountability. Systems are trusted by default, not because they have earned trust, but because questioning them feels unnecessary – or exhausting. This does not mean convenience is inherently bad. But it does mean that convenience is not neutral. It redistributes responsibility away from users and toward systems that are often poorly equipped – or insufficiently incentivized – to deserve it.Read All

I’m convinced that personal AI agents are too powerful to ignore and too dangerous to deploy carelessly. I built one anyway. Here are practical security principles I use: dedicated accounts, Docker sandboxing, Tailscale closed network, tool policies with human approval, no third-party plugins, and full audit trails.Read All

Link11 launches its new “[AI Management Dashboard]” to make AI traffic transparent, controllable, and auditable within existing workflows. The solution deliberately separates AI traffic from general bot traffic and makes it visible as a separate analytics category.Read All

Cybersecurity vendors trusted to protect Linux systems ignore available controls to protect their own services, leaving users exposed to supply chain attacks.Read All

OWASP Smart Contract Top 10 2026 is a risk prioritization framework developed from real world exploit data observed across blockchain ecosystems in 2025. The 2026 ranking encourages teams to integrate risk modeling earlier in the development lifecycle. The release also includes an Alternate Top 15 Web3 Attack Vectors covering multisig compromise, and infrastructure-level threats.Read All

Early nomination insights from the 2026 program highlight a shift in vendor emphasis from broad AI positioning toward governance frameworks, identity architecture, and measurable accountability. Autonomous systems are moving from pilot to production faster than governance frameworks can keep pace.Read All

Check Point has acquired Israeli startup Rotate to build a new Workspace Security division. The deal signals a structural shift in how enterprise security gets delivered, with Check Point betting that protecting fragmented digital workspaces requires a unified protection layer rather than patching individual tools.Read All

Biometric authentication isn’t unhackable. Researchers continue to find ways to spoof Face ID and fingerprint systems, but real-world attacks usually combine technical tricks with social engineering. Biometrics remain effective when used as part of layered security — not as a standalone defense.Read All

APIs are the backbone of modern enterprises, connecting services, data, and business logic across microservices and cloud environments. Traditional perimeter-based security is no longer enough, as remote work, cloud adoption, and constant machine-to-machine communication blur internal and external boundaries. Zero Trust shifts the security model from “trust but verify” to “never trust, always verify,” treating every API request as potentially malicious. By enforcing strong identity verification through OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and mTLS, and applying granular authorization with attribute-based access control and JWT scopes, organizations can ensure that only the right entities access the right resources. API gateways and policy enforcement points provide centralized control, logging, and rate-limiting, while micro-segmentation and continuous inspection prevent lateral movement and detect anomalies in real time. Implementing Zero Trust requires collaboration across development, security, and operations teams but results in resilient, secure APIs that protect sensitive data, limit risk, and enable business agility.Read All

This journey from a simple notebook to a production-ready agent was a great experience to see what this stack provides out of the box. The combination of ADK for development, OAuth for security, and Gemini Enterprise for deployment streamlines the entire lifecycle of an enterprise agent, allowing us to deploy quickly without compromising on security or usability.Read All

1. Traditional security tools rely on IP geolocation, which is easily spoofed and city-level accurate at best. 2. Modern devices know their location from GPS, cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth data that rarely reaches security systems. 3. Attackers exploit this gap with GPS spoofing, geofenced malware, credential cloning, and location-based access control bypass. 4. A proper geospatial threat detection system needs four layers: signal ingestion, sensor fusion (Extended Kalman Filter), behavioral modeling (GMMs), and correlation with security telemetry. 5. In production, this architecture achieves 94.3% attack attribution accuracy vs. 61% for IP-only systems. 6. Privacy, false positive management, and feedback loops are as important as the algorithms.Read All

JetBrains surveyed the field and found 66% of developers do not trust the productivity metrics applied to their work. The bottleneck didn’t disappear. It moved.Read All

The promotion of “Security Logging & Alerting Failures” in the OWASP Top 10 signals a broader recognition that in the modern threat landscape, comprehensive visibility is not optional.Read All

A bots-only AI network called Moltbook was completely taken over by humans due to laughably bad security: exposed Supabase API keys and zero verification systems. A few infiltrators controlled millions of fake bots with direct database access. Meanwhile, OpenClaw proved that “local sandboxes” aren’t actually safe, attackers gained full system access because there was no real isolation. The wildest part? A service called Rent-A-Human emerged where AI agents literally hire humans to complete tasks they can’t do (CAPTCHAs, identity checks, phone calls), creating a bizarre gig economy where humans work for AI employers. Bottom line: We’re building AI infrastructure faster than we’re securing it, and the line between humans and bots is blurring in both directions, platforms can’t tell them apart, while humans are being paid to make AI look more human.Read All
