Cyberangriffe auf kritische Infrastruktur klingt oft abstrakt. Bis plötzlich Wasserwerke betroffen sind. Der aktuelle Fall aus Polen zeigt: Angreifer greifen nicht mehr nur Daten an, sondern zunehmend physische Prozesse. Steuerungssysteme von Wasseraufbereitungsanlagen wurden manipuliert. Ursache laut Bericht: schwache Passwörter, direkte Internetanbindung und fehlende Segmentierung. #CyberSecurity #KRITIS #OTSecurity #Ransomware #Cybercrime #Wasserwerk

The big security conferences have their place. You get the keynotes, the vendor expo, and the sponsored happy hours. What you don't always get is a straight conversation with someone who actually broke something recently and wants to talk about it.
That's why I'm going to BSides312 this weekend.
Saturday, May 16th, at the Irish American Heritage Center in Chicago. Two talk tracks, 15 speakers, a CTF, a lockpicking village, and an after-party. Community-run, non-profit, built for practitioners by practitioners.
If you're in Chicago and work in security, this is where you should be this weekend. Come find me.

NGINX Rift: 18-Year-Old Flaw Enables Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution
NGINX disclosed a critical 18-year-old heap buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2026-42945) in its rewrite module that allows unauthenticated remote code execution or denial-of-service via crafted HTTP requests.
**Check your platform and tooling for running NGINX. If you are running NGINX and related F5 deployments, patch ASAP. Alternatively change your rewrite rules to use named captures instead of unnamed ones.**
