18+ min ago (363+ words) While much of the crypto market moves sideways waiting for the next catalyst, GeeFi is setting a blistering pace that has investors taking notice. The project's initial funding round was a massive display of demand, selling out Phase 1 in less than two weeks and securing a quick $500,000." That wave of capital has crashed into Phase 2, which has already surpassed the $750,000 milestone with more than 13 million tokens claimed. With this current stage now exceeding 80% completion, market analysts are forecasting that Phase 3 could launch as early as next week. This velocity suggests that the window to enter at these ground-floor valuations is closing far faster than anticipated. Cardano is currently dominating headlines with the launch of its privacy-focused Midnight sidechain, a newly unveiled 2026 roadmap by Charles Hoskinson, and a technical breakout that signals a potential trend reversal. While ADA focuses on long-term…...

34+ min ago (562+ words) AI, when properly applied, can help defenders surface early warning signals, while expanded awareness training for executives, colleagues, and families is essential to reducing exposure. For decades, cyber adversaries targeted corporate assets: intellectual property, systems stability and the bottom line. But the attack surface has evolved. Executives themselves are now prime targets and are singled out to destabilize companies and sway public opinion. What begins in the digital world can quickly migrate offline, resulting in real-world threats, hate and violence. I'd like to shed light on some core lessons I carry with me, including how digital personas are giving attackers ammunition, AI empowers both attacks and defenders, and fragmented security programming is creating protection blind spots. The threat environment for executives is no longer linear; it's complex, layered and unforgiving. Sophisticated tools make credential theft, account takeovers and data breaches…...

41+ min ago (506+ words) Cybersecurity teams are navigating a shift as skills shortages overtake headcount as the primary concern, according to ISC2s 2025 Cybersecurity Workforce Study. The research, based on responses from some 16,029 cybersecurity professionals globally, reveals that while budget cuts and layoffs have leveled off after last years surge, the pressure on security teams has intensified. Economic conditions affecting cybersecurity budgets showed signs of stabilizing in 2025, according to ISC2, with reports of budget cuts dropping to 36% (down one percentage point from 2024) and layoffs declining to 24% (also down one point). Still, underlying workforce challenges remain. "A shift is happening. This years data makes it clear that the most pressing concern for cybersecurity teams isnt headcount but skills," said Debra Taylor, ISC2 Acting CEO and CFO, in a statement. "Skills deficits raise cybersecurity risk levels and challenge business resilience." Organizations have experienced oversights in cybersecurity processes and procedures (26%), been…...

47+ min ago (663+ words) Password managers are some of the most sensitive applications we use. They hold the keys to everything: banking accounts, emails, private documents and the entire digital footprint of a person. With such a high level of trust, the traditional architecture of password managers raises an uncomfortable question: Why should any company hold your vault, your keys, your password hashes or even metadata about your accounts? This question defined the foundation of SeguraPass, a free, zero-knowledge, end-to-end encrypted online password manager designed so that your passwords belong only to you. Not the server, not the cloud and not the application developer. SeguraPass is a full desktop application built with Java, JavaFX, Spring Boot and PostgreSQL, with cryptographic foundations based on SRP-6a, AES-256-GCM and Argon2id. Its primary objective is simple: Even in the worst-case scenarios, such as server compromise, credential leaks and…...

47+ min ago (526+ words) CloudCasa by Catalogic has added new backup storage features to its Kubernetes data protection platform, including support for SMB file sharing and user-selectable compression of backup data. The update expands CloudCasa's options for storing backups in on-premises, hybrid, and edge Kubernetes environments. The service already supports NFS-based backup storage. CloudCasa now supports backup storage accessed over the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol. SMB is a common file-sharing protocol in Windows-based environments and on many network-attached storage devices. The platform also now offers user-selectable compression settings for persistent volume backup data. Users can adjust compression levels for each Kubernetes cluster or for individual backup jobs. The new features follow the introduction of NFS backup storage support earlier in the year. The combination of NFS and SMB support allows customers to target a wider range of network storage systems. CloudCasa said the…...

Aldermore Bank, a specialist financial services provider based in the U.K., reports that it has been working with technology providers Publicis Sapient and Murex to transform its treasury platform, officials say. The firm has gone live with a cloud-native implementation that leverages enterprise artificial intelligence (A.I.) capabilities and services from Publicis Sapient, and trading, risk, and processing solutions for capital markets from Murex, officials say. In fact, the bank has deployed Murex's MX.3 front-to-back-to-risk platform for its treasury business. Aldermore chose MX.3 "because the bank was drawn by MX.3's broad functional coverage, integrated architecture, and proven implementation success, making it an optimal technology solution for the bank's evolving needs," officials add. "With the new treasury platform, we can significantly increase working efficiency through delivering a high level of automation along…...

56+ min ago (282+ words) Three days ago, I woke up to my servers on fire. CPU at 100%, apps dead. The cause? React2Shell. If you use Next.js App Router, stop and read this. A critical bug lets hackers take over your server with one packet. No password needed. This is my story from the trenches, and your quick-fix guide. It's a bug in React Server Components. Attackers send a fake data packet, and your server runs it as code. Game over. That's how they got me. They got a shell and most likely installed crypto miners that killed my CPUs. I'll be honest. I messed up at first. I thought I could just clean the infected server and redeploy. After learning the hard way, here is the only method that actually worked. If you were hacked, your server is compromised. Patching alone is useless. This…...
