ModHeader, a browser extension with 1.6 million installs, was pulled from Chrome and Edge after a researcher found a dormant data collector in its code. Here’s a repeatable 10-minute way to audit your own extensions’ permissions.
To understand how to build an AI-assisted vulnerability scanner as a beginner, you don’t need a vendor budget; what you need is the underlying workflow: trace untrusted data from a source to a sink (taint analysis), use an LLM to slice code and reason about that data flow, then manually verify every finding. Practice on a permitted target, log your results, and you’ve got a real, portfolio-worthy skill
Four separate 2026 reports show AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot can be tricked into running malicious code, bypassing approval prompts, or installing hallucinated malware packages. Here’s a practical checklist to lock down permissions before you get burned.
A SOC analyst (Security Operations Center analyst) is a cybersecurity professional who monitors an organization’s networks, systems, and data for signs of cyberattacks; investigates security alerts; and coordinates incident response to protect digital assets.
Most people who fail the ISC2 CC or stall halfway through CISSP prep don’t fail because the material is too
Zero Trust is not a product you can buy off a shelf. It is not a piece of software or a specific technology. It is an architecture, i.e., a way of designing and operating your entire security posture, built around the assumption that threats exist both inside and outside your network at all times. It is a modern cybersecurity approach that assumes no user, device, or system should be trusted automatically, even if it is already inside the network.
On April 29, 2026, Canvas LMS, one of the most widely used learning management systems in the world, was hit with a large-scale cyber incident that impacted the education sector globally. Canvas LMS is developed and operated by Instructure, an education technology company based in the United States. Schools, colleges, universities, and training providers use Canvas to manage online classes, assignments, grades, messages, tests, and student contact.
Computer networks revolve around data; thus, comprehending network functionality requires an understanding of data. This article provides a step-by-step explanation of what is data in computer networks, starting with the difference between data and information. It then demonstrates how computers store data as bits, how bits are organized into bytes, and how encoding techniques enable the digital representation of letters, numbers, symbols, pictures, audio, and video.
Communication vs telecommunications vs data communication is an important ICT topic because these terms are often used together, but they do not mean exactly the same thing. Communication is the broadest concept; telecommunications involves technology-based signal transmission, and data communication specifically refers to digital binary data exchanged between computing devices.
Computer networks are the most important pillar of “information and communications technologies,” i.e., ICT domain. ICT refers to any digital technology used to manage information and facilitate communication, such as hardware, software, networks, and the Internet. It combines computation and telecommunications to improve data storage, transport, and processing
