Fifty years ago, at the dawn of the Internet, people logged on to systems using passwords. Today, we are still doing the same.

Why cybersecurity victims will grow

It is no secret there is a worldwide cybersecurity skills shortage. In fact, this shortage is often described as a “crisis”. But the response to this crisis is always to deal with the supply side of the issue. Nobody is thinking about approaching the problem from the demand side. For example, the Australian government recently…

Why Multi-Factor Authentication Will Soon Be Useless
 PREVIEW

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security measure that requires two or more proofs of identity to grant you access to an application. For example, in addition to providing your password, you need a one-time password (OTP) sent via an email, text message or an authenticator app. On some websites, it can be an approval prompt…

Iran and Israel: Potential For Catastrophic War From The Middle East
 PREVIEW

It seems pretty clear that the drumbeats of war are looming in the Middle East. Strangely, the mainstream media seem to be ignoring it, and the financial markets act unaware. That can only mean one thing. Get ready. For starters, should war break out, it will likely be a major Black Swan event. Obviously, economies and…

 Fauci's Private Diary Exposes Stark Contradictions on Lab Leak, Lethality, Lockdowns & Vaccines
