there should be some kind of digital death penalty where you're banned from using the computer for life if you're caught selling "phishing for dummies" SaaS

What if security wasn’t a firefight?

Facebook’s “Privacy Waves” program bakes privacy work into a monthly rhythm — predictable, repeatable, scalable.

Maybe the real AppSec unlock isn’t more tech.
It’s cadence.

Make security routine, not reactive.

On inauguration day, Trump received greetings from leaders around the world, from Putin, Trump received a Fabergé egg made of gold, diamond and rubies...
and inside a USB stick.
He put the USB stick in his computer that started a funny video greeting from Putin with two topless women which Trump enjoyed very much.
Later that day, the computer stopped working so Trump rebooted and discovered his computer had been encrypted with ransomware...

The other day my brother called me while on the job driving my stepfather‘s cab. „Bro, do you know what your IQ is?“ „No, I never bothered to check?!“ „Well, do it! I‘ll send you a link. I scored a 175 on an IQ test with just answering some simple questions:

To all you AppSec people that are creating your own secure coding guide. Remember that there is this org called OWASP that might have this already. devguide.owasp.org/en/04-design/

It may not contain what you would like it to contain, but that is why it’s open source. Contributions are welcome!

Did you know that according to ISO 27001, 8.28 Secure coding, pair programming, refactoring, and test-driven development are considered to be secure coding practices?
Next time someone ask, shh, just let it happen!

The local Sri Lankan babysitter is caching in on far-right sentiment in UK using AI and Deepfakes for clickbaiting. Can’t blame them for trying to earn the extra bucks, but what about the consequences for Democracy?
Is democracy for sale on social media?
Should AI and social media play such a role?

AI will be one of the biggest challenges, yet, to democracy around the world. Fascism just got a incredible tool added to their toolbox.

New is:

A03:2025 Software Supply Chain Failures

and…

A10:2025 Mishandling of Exceptional Conditions

The last one based on assessments done with OWASP SAMM core team members. I can take no credit here whatsoever. Congratulations!

Games aren't just for fun, they're essential for our survival.
We often think of playing and gaming as unique to humans, but research shows otherwise. All animals with a brain play, even bumblebees.
These nine panels show the sequence of a ball-rolling action, lasting, in this instance, ca.4s. (1/4)

📡 OWASP Secure Headers Project:

- We added information about the HTTP response header "X-DNS-Prefetch-Control".
- We added the tool "shcheck" to the list of analysis tools.

As in sex, the same goes for privacy, consent must be active, clear, knowing, ongoing, voluntary, and is always REQUIRED!

You don’t need to ask for consent until the user says yes repeatedly. I know that means you may not get lucky, but it’s an excellent way to ensure you keep your friendships.

I am so tiered of explaining to people about privacy and cookies, so here is an allegory for you.
