Your attack surface. Where your exposure exists: money, location, property, data identity.
I mapped dozens of proposed solutions to deepfakes. The result was sobering:No silver bullets. Only tradeoffs. The conversation around deepfakes is full of quick fixes. New watermarking schemes, tighter laws, platform promises.None hold up under pressure. After reviewing countermeasures across technical, legal, policy, and human domains, the pattern is clear: every solution is partial, fragile,…
Politi-Spam: Apple, Gmail, and the Data Broker Machine Your phone shouldn’t be a campaign donation funnel. Apple just agreed. In June, Apple announced a new “Unknown Senders” folder in iMessage. Texts from unknown numbers (including political fundraisers) no longer light up your lock screen. They slip quietly into a side folder. Still delivered. Still readable….
Lock Down Browsers. Wipe Employee Footprints. Win Breach Wars. Over 80% of security incidents now start in the browser. Chrome. Edge. Firefox. Even Safari. They’re not just productivity tools anymore. They’ve become the primary attack surface. Groups like Scattered Spider have figured this out. Instead of smashing endpoints with malware, they slip in through the…

How ALPR Systems Quietly Track You Everywhere Your License plate is talking more than a drunk uncle at Thanksgiving. Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) technology is now embedded across public streets, private neighborhoods, and commercial parking lots. These systems capture, tag, and upload your movements in real time. Some of this data supports law enforcement….
Your plates used to talk to the DMV and the occasional traffic cop. In 2025? They’re snitching to data brokers, repo firms and anyone with a $200 camera and a grudge. The tools are cheap, the data is for sale, and the surveillance never sleeps. Today, Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) technology is everywhere. It’s…
Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) systems have created a shadow network of tracking that spans across cities, highways, and even private properties. What was once a tool for catching stolen cars is now a silent, sprawling surveillance grid that doesn’t just know where you’ve been. It knows who you are, who you visit, when you…
