Rest in Peace Alan Yentob, one of the most influential BBC controllers and a cultural force. Will never forget sitting, smoking a joint, with Joe Strummer when Alan wandered over for a chat. Some days are just too bizarre to exist!

Started pulling breach stats late last year. Thought 1.4B exposed identities in 2024 was bad enough. By the end, it was 2.45B. And that’s a lowball! The blog isn’t just about numbers, it’s about why healthcare keeps getting hammered, and what needs to change. #cybersecurity #healthcare #databreach

Today we lost Mike Peters. An incredible voice and wonderful lyricist. He, and his band, never got the recognition they deserved. 30 years fighting cancer himself and campaigning for others. Rest well. Mike.

Complacency is the enemy of security — and power grids. It wasn’t a cyberattack It was the wrong kind of inertia The grid was built for big turbines that stabilized it. Renewables use inverters — most just follow the grid, not resisting fluctuations. We changed the technology, but not the system.

Solar is the future. But guess what? Attackers know that too. New research from Forescout shows how exposed solar gear—like inverters & edge devices—can be flipped to take down power. Clean energy + insecure protocols = big risk. Report’s called Sun:Down and it’s worth your time!

Using Witkoff’s logic, the UK is perfectly at liberty to annex all English speaking countries, yes that includes the US, while Spain and Portugal also have a lot to gain. The US “negotiator” spouting Russian propaganda is galling and very telling.
