Security Vulnerabilities 
security advisory zero-day
security advisory zero-day CISA added CVE-2026-11645 to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog after Google confirmed active exploitation of the flaw. The bug sits in V8, the JavaScript engine behind Chrome and Chromium. . That's where this gets more interesting. Most coverage will focus on Chrome because that's where the patch landed. But the affected component is V8. Chromium relies on it. Electron relies on it. Plenty of desktop software Linux users interact with every day relies on it too, often without much...

Network Securitysecurity advisory networking
security advisory networking For years, IPv4 was the only proxy type that really mattered for anyone running automation off a Linux box. IPv6 was the protocol everyone said they’d migrate to, but almost nobody actually did. In 2026, that’s finally starting to shift. . The problem is that most admins stick with IPv4 out of habit. They know it; it’s what their tooling defaults to, and they don’t see a reason to change. Some are overpaying for addresses they don’t need. Others would quietly break their scrapers, scripts, or...

Network Securityopen-source python
open-source python Researchers recently identified another wave of malicious packages on PyPI linked to the broader Mini Shai-Hulud campaign, a worm-like supply chain attack that spread through trusted software packages. On the surface, the packages looked no different from thousands of others published to the repository each week. . Instead of trying to break into a target network directly, the attackers hid malicious code inside software that developers were already using. A few downloads are all it takes....

Security Vulnerabilities malware linux
malware linux IronWorm steals credentials and uses them to spread beyond the original victim, turning developer access into a supply chain risk. . A new campaign targeting npm has evolved past simple credential theft. Researchers identified IronWorm, a self-spreading threat. It harvests high-value Linux development secrets—SSH keys, cloud tokens, package publishing credentials. One compromised workstation becomes a launchpad for downstream supply chain attacks. This is not a get-in-and-get-out operation....

system security Linux network The romanticized image of the digital nomad – a laptop on a sun-drenched balcony – rarely accounts for the actual friction of maintaining a professional development environment on the move. . The friction is amplified with Linux. We are looking for a setup that respects our kernel configurations, handles volatile network handovers, and maintains a strict security posture without the hand-holding of a consumer-grade OS – so, put simply, more than just a laptop and a sunny deck. The hardware is...

UK companies are anticipating the introduction of biometric technology to increase workplace security, according to a new independent survey commissioned as part of the Hitachi Data Systems Storage Index.

UK companies are anticipating the introduction of biometric technology to increase workplace security, according to a new independent survey commissioned as part of the Hitachi Data Systems Storage Index. The survey finds that 65 per cent of firms expect to see iris scanning and fingerprint recognition systems in the office, with 44 per cent expecting to see them introduced within two years. The survey comes amid growing adoption of biometric technology by border control and public sector organisations and reveals that over half of companies (54 per cent) believe that the use of biometrics in office buildings is a justified security measure, although the same number anticipate some staff or customer resistance to the technology. Few respondents (28 per cent) thought that `Big Brother' style abuse of biometric information was likely - either by companies or government agencies. "It seems that attitudes towards biometrics are rapidly improving as the technology becomes more common and people recognise the growing security benefits," says Tony Reid, Director of Storage Solutions, Hitachi Data Systems EMEA. "Of course, companies will still need to comply with various privacy and data protection regulations that govern how long personal information can be stored and what it can be used for - which presents a further IT challenge for many."

Businesses in the UK are preparing to implement biometric solutions aimed at bolstering security protocols and fostering a culture of safety among employees..
