Ransomware Trends: Supply Chain Attacks and Credential Theft
Ransomware Trends: Supply Chain Attacks and Credential Theft—cyber gangs are getting more organized and profit-driven, recycling supply-chain breaches, stockpiling stolen credentials for later campaigns, and even rolling out their own affiliate programs. The punchline: their “innovation” still features sloppy code that can permanently trash victims’ data, proving that paying extortionists doesn’t buy competence—or recovery.

Anonymized Data Remains Vulnerable to Re-Identification Using Basic Details
Anonymized Data Remains Vulnerable to Re-Identification Using Basic Details, a reminder that swapping names for ID numbers is privacy theater when a few crumbs—ZIP code, birth date, browsing habits—can stitch you right back together. We churn out personal data nonstop, and once it’s consolidated, its value rockets—not just for population-level insights, but for pinpointing individuals with unnerving accuracy. That “shared data” gold rush enriches data brokers and platform giants, while regulators jog behind waving a plastic whistle. Translation: if the product is “de-identified,” the risk is very much alive, and the market knows it.

Hennessy Unveils 2026 Year of the Horse Limited Edition
Hennessy Unveils 2026 Year of the Horse Limited Edition, galloping into Lunar New Year with four dressed-to-impress cognacs—V.S.O.P., James Hennessy, X.O, and Paradis—wrapped in metallic copper, deep mineral tones, and a flowing red palette. The galloping horse motif is billed as energy and freedom—an “awakening,” says the CMO—tethered to more than 160 years of ties with China, from an 1859 shipment and X.O’s 1872 debut to a symbolic Shanghai docking in 1992 and a 2017 Silk Road cultural tour. The design leans on Eastern philosophy, with sculpted forms and open space inviting personal interpretation—and, presumably, a swipe of the card. Available now at Selfridges and Amazon UK, V.S.O.P runs £65 and X.O £210. After 260 years rooted in France’s Charente and distribution in 160+ countries, Hennessy still knows how to make a bottle look like it’s already halfway to your mantel.
