It happened again. The one thing that’s not supposed to go down … went down. This morning, Cloudflare — the safety net of the internet, the infrastructure under the infrastructure — tripped over itself and faceplanted. If AWS is the backbone, Cloudflare is the connective tissue. It’s the silent middle layer that makes sure your site doesn’t  go dark when other things do. Except today, it did. And when Cloudflare stumbles, it’s not just one site that goes offline — it’s an ent

I have just witnessed a masterpiece. A man with a printer, a dream, and apparently way too much free time has done what most cybersecurity professionals spend decades trying to achieve: he hacked the human condition — with stickers. Here’s the play:He prints QR codes — just generic black-and-white codes — and pastes them perfectly  over existing ones in the wild. You know, menus, vending machines, parking meters, those tiny “scan me” squares that have become the universal doo

If you want a single, unfiltered example of how the world manages to be simultaneously brilliant and boneheaded, look no further than the Louvre heist. I’ve seen breaches where the defenders did everything right and still lost — that’s life on the wire. This? This wasn’t that. This was a comedy of errors so spectacular it belongs in a heist movie with popcorn and a two-cocktail intermission. Here’s what went down, in plain terms your CISO will be too embarrassed to admit out

We just teleported the state of light through a live internet cable. That’s not metaphor — it’s infrastructure now. Let’s talk about what that means for trust, sovereignty, security, and how we even define “sending information” anymore. “Beam Me Up” Just Became a Network Protocol Not to get overly sci-fi here, but yes — we’re officially in Star Trek territory. In 2025, scientists at Northwestern University teleported the quantum state of a photon  across 30 kilometers of comm

COVID did for remote work what the Russia-Ukraine war is doing for drone warfare. The pandemic didn’t invent Zoom, Teams, or Slack — it simply forced every organization on Earth to use them. Overnight, “digital transformation” went from strategy deck buzzword to survival tactic. Warfare is now having the same moment. From Platforms to Packets In June 2024, Ukraine’s Operation Spiderweb  didn’t just destroy aircraft — it rewrote doctrine. Drones launched from inside Russia’s b

When us-east-1 Sneezes, the Internet Gets a Cold At exactly 3:11 AM this morning—because apparently the cloud has a flair for irony— Amazon Web Services’ us-east-1 region  tripped over its own DNS resolver and faceplanted, taking half the internet down with it. For those of us of a certain age, sipping our morning coffee while watching dashboards fail to load, there was only one thing going through our heads: 🎶 Gonna take the internet down… down…  🎶 Yes. 311. The band. The

Let’s start with a hard truth: most people have no idea what AI can do — and that’s a problem. A big  one. Every day, I see new scams pop up online that look completely legitimate — professional-looking websites, polished videos, believable voices, and glowing reviews. The twist? None of it’s real. The people don’t exist. The products don’t exist. The business itself? Fabricated entirely by artificial intelligence. We’ve crossed a line. AI isn’t just automating tasks anymore;
