As my mum always helpfully reminds me - [in a Dudley accent] "cyber is bloody boring!". But I spoke to a student who's exam was literally interrupted by the Canvas hack and it was one of those rare visual incidents that make you sit up and take notice: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Someone ask him what he'd say if Angela Rayner was the one getting a £5m gift

Every time I install a new version of the raspberry pi operating system I have to wade through how to now set up a disk, all set up a network or discover where the damned text editor has disappeared off to. Can people please stop messing with the operating system and basic utilities?

Erm this is a kids game ?

This is genuinely glorious

In many ways this isn't a surprise but it's still pretty wild to see how Russian Intelligence is so very hands-on when it comes to training students in cyber-espionage, hacking, malware development, election meddling and more... www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

If listening to Niels Provos talk to my colleague @jameswilson.io for 90 minutes about orchestrating older LLMs to find 0day as effectively as Mythos can sounds like a good time to you, boy do I have some great news… VIDEO: youtu.be/ksWbjE9uQyk AUDIO: risky.biz/RBFEATURES19/

the advertising for conference season is getting weird. Does anyone know which conf this is ?

this is worth repeating a thousand times, dont worry about Mythos or AI - The biggest risk to most corporates remains getting the basics wrong at scale

just spotted that Garmin is keeping track of the total number of 100 mile rides and marathons i have run - these numbers please me as this is in 3 years of starting :)

Exactly this.... Most attackers are not breaking in by exploits. Most attackers are breaking in via stolen credentials. This is not going to change just because there is an AI model that might be able to make vulnerabilities turn into exploits

Listening to infosec people freak out over Mythos is so tiring. Like, bro, your local water treatment plant runs Windows XP, your mobile provider's hardware is older than you are, and the protocol that routes internet traffic is secured by everyone just agreeing that hijacking it would be uncool.

Had to check that this wasn't April 1st but my Italian job fantasies may be able to come true as a cyclist nltimes.nl/2026/04/28/n... wonder how long before it gets hacked ?

Just finished putting together the Lego Nintendo Gameboy - really really satisfying build. Well recommended and quite a few Easter eggs

According to Ransomware.live, shinyhunters ransomware group has added Vimeo, Inc. (🇺🇸) to its victims.

Early morning work flight after a marathon....just say no kids. I have my running gear with me but I might just be sleeping tonight :)

Nice relaxed pace marathon - pretty route as we kept in countryside almost all the way into London - no medal or t-shirt this was just for Strava kudos

alternative maths :)

New by me - Microsoft Vibing. A very strange fake open source project published by Microsoft employees, which gathers screenshots and voice recordings of users with unique machine identifiers attached. Not sure how this one has happened. doublepulsar.com/microsoft-vi...

Just in Billund in Denmark so I thought I should visit the Lego shop in the airport - erm the prices are keen :) then again they have the pacman machine and the Trex skeleton

Well this explains the posts that kept on popping up

The cyberattack on The British Library in October 2023 knocked out ebooks and almost ever other computer thing there for years. Ebooks just came back. They were knocked out everywhere using the BL’s license (legal deposit libraries I think? More libraries?) Distributed physical copies matter.

The iranians say backdoors....https://www.theregister.com/2026/04/21/iran_claims_us_used_backdoors/ who wants to bet the iranians just didn't patch? Perhaps all the Fortinet vulns are just nation state level backdoors ?

-Russia introduces mandatory border device searches -US wants Mythos access -US bill would require age verification at OS level -FISA S702 gets a 10-day extension -DraftKings hacker sentenced to prison -Scattered Spider member pleads guilty -TeamPCP gives stolen creds to Vect ransomware group

We tell people to apply firmware updates to their phones and PCs - how about to their bikes ! Not sure what that just fixed but at least been out on the latest stable versions

This is the kind of pettiness that I respect

Just came back from a 70 km gravel ride and suddenly realized that I had the remains of a succulent Chinese meal from last night in the fridge.... There is now no more succulent Chinese meal in the fridge :)

Unbelievable corruption right in front of our faces.

Just made a keto muffin in a cup using almond flour,egg, baking powder, sweetener, butter and almond milk. It was yummy and only needed 1:30 in the microwave

Nick cave said of AI "Songs arise out of suffering, by which I mean they are predicated upon the complex, internal human struggle of creation and, well, as far as I know, algorithms don't feel" now i would say that if you have ever done security work in Java or on oracle you have suffered....

i think the main group of people that the Mythos AI model is going to impact are the bug bounty hunters.... their payments and long term finance model is doubtful - the rest of us will carry on as normal

Security people worried about AI generated 0days when they don't have MFA and have windows 2008 still around. Almost no one is getting hacked by unknown exploits - they are getting hacked by credential theft and unpatched machines.

the French story is a little bit of a sleeper, not for that it is - but for what it represents. If it works then we could see more big EU gov contracts going to non USA players. There is the potential for seismic shift in the tech industry... potential

Blocking the Strait of Hormuz to unblock the Strait of Hormuz is peak Trump foreign policy.

I suppose I always suspected that this may be the case but to see it laid out so clearly is wild www.mdsec.co.uk/2026/03/disa... I wonder if it has other applications for some embedded as they're using essentially the same hardware

Extraordinary to see the UK PM putting Trump and Putin together like this, and referring to 'Trump' not 'President Trump'. A lot has changed in the last few weeks - this would have been unimaginable six months ago - and I don't see how it changes back. www.politico.eu/article/star...

Bought myself the Lego insects set... I was admiring it and then suddenly I noticed that my teenage daughter was suddenly also admiring it. We came to an agreement where I swapped her my new set for the Lego Nintendo game boy I bought for Christmas but she's still hasn't assembled

JD Vance comes to a foreign country to openly campaign for a candidate ahead of an election, and then accuses other countries of interfering in those very elections
