🔒 Cybersecurity Monday
One of the simplest ways to improve your security is to keep your software up to date.
Updates don't just add new features—they fix vulnerabilities that attackers actively look for.
✔️ Install security updates promptly. ✔️ Update your operating system and applications. ✔️ Don't forget your router and other network devices.
A few minutes today can prevent hours of recovery tomorrow.

Ah yes, the tale of an obliterated climate website resurrected by a trio of enterprising nerds with an open data fixation, because who needs a government when you have sisters with keyboards? 🙄🔧 Apparently, all it took was a presidential tantrum and a touch of sisterly love to save the planet from digital doom. 🌍💻

"Journalists could be asking questions about this. How much Palantir staff is on site? Do they get to operate and integrate non-Palantir systems? Are they supervised when they access such data, or have things gotten so chummy that departments have stopped doing those four-eyes checks? (This always happens over time). How can we be sure they don’t run off with that data?"

Today in the #Aurora #BIP course on #DigitalResilience at the University of Duisburg-Essen we (students and lecturers) are going to critically reflect on the notion of resilience. Whose/what resilience matters? And whose/what does not?

We will post the guiding questions and main findings here in the thread below.

@Fediverse: feel free to participate in the discussion!

Was passiert, wenn Handy-Netze, Zahlungsverkehr und Krankenhäuser gleichzeitig offline gehen? 📵 Der neue Bericht von ITU & UNDRR warnt vor einer „digitalen Pandemie“. Lokale Störungen in Seekabeln oder Rechenzentren können globale Krisen auslösen. Wir brauchen dringend mehr digitale Resilienz!

The AI gold rush is burning through water, energy, and money at a staggering pace — and for what? Most of it can run locally, privately, and without melting a glacier.

Hello @Indivisibleteam -- a resilience note for public actions: cell phones expose both message content and location (e.g., Stingray devices). Pairing phones with LoRa mesh networking via the Reticulum protocol enables encrypted, non-locating, device-to-device & hidden-IP worldwide messaging.

Happy to share practical, field-tested insights if useful.

"#Zoho has not, does not, and will never sell your information to someone else for advertising, nor make money by showing you other people's ads." And they claim to not use third party trackers on website or apps.

Since they offer a pretty similar web and cloud based toolset like google I wonder if it could and should be used as replacement.

Somebody has insights or want to have a look inside?

I consider myself reasonably aware of how dependent I am on technology.
Or at least I thought I was.

I recently had to send my phone in for repair and switched to a spare. Nothing dramatic. Same SIM. Calls and SMS work. In theory, I’m fine.

In practice, a surprising amount of my daily life simply stopped working.

I can’t make a bank transfer because the banking app isn’t activated on this device to confirm transactions.
I can’t log in to many websites because they insist on login confirmation from a previously verified phone.
I can’t start the robot vacuum cleaner, which I turned off for the holidays and never set up again.
I can’t even easily turn off some lights, because they’re normally controlled via a smart plug tied to an app.

And these are just the obvious examples I ran into within the first day.

What struck me most is not that this happened, but how complete the dependency is. The phone is not just a tool. It’s an identity anchor, an authorization token, a remote control, a recovery mechanism, and a silent assumption baked into countless systems.

We often talk about backups in terms of data. Files, photos, maybe servers.
Much less often do we think about operational backups for everyday life. What happens when the one device that confirms everything is suddenly unavailable? How many “secure” setups quietly assume permanent smartphone presence?

This is another place where technological maturity is tested. Not by adding more smart features, but by thinking through failure modes. Especially the boring ones. Especially the ones we dismiss because, realistically, how often do we not have our phone at hand?

Until we don’t.

Microsoft has resolved a Copilot outage that affected users in the U.K. and Europe following unexpected traffic growth, capacity-scaling faults, and a later-identified load-balancing issue.

The company reverted a recent policy change and manually scaled capacity to restore access.

What resiliency expectations should we have for cloud-delivered AI tools as they become core to daily workflows?

Share your thoughts and follow us for more balanced cybersecurity updates.
