🚨 Human belief is becoming a #security issue.

Security in #sociotechnical #systems is shaped not only by #technology, but by how people interpret information.

Our new study reviews 24 factors and conceptualizes belief in false information as a human-centered security risk.

This Gmail hack is unsettling not because it’s flashy, but because it’s bureaucratic. Attackers aren’t breaking encryption or outsmarting algorithms. They’re filling out forms. By changing an account’s age and abusing Google’s Family Link feature, they can quietly reclassify an adult user as a “child” and assume parental control. At that point, the rightful owner isn’t hacked so much as administratively erased.

The clever part is that everything happens inside legitimate features. Passwords are changed. Two-factor settings are altered. Recovery options are overwritten. And when the user tries to get back in, Google’s automated systems see a supervised child account and do exactly what they were designed to do: say no.

Google says it’s looking into the issue, which suggests this wasn’t how the system was supposed to work. But it’s a reminder of an old lesson. Security failures often happen when protective mechanisms are combined in ways no one quite imagined. The tools aren’t broken. The assumptions are.

There’s no dramatic fix here, only mildly annoying advice that suddenly feels urgent. Review recovery settings. Lock down account changes. Use passkeys. Because once an attacker controls the recovery layer, proving you’re you can become surprisingly difficult.

TL;DR
🧠 Family safety tools are being weaponized
⚡ Account recovery can be shut down entirely
🎓 Legitimate features enable the lockout
🔍 Prevention matters more than appeals

⏰ Just 24 hours.

That’s all EU companies now have to report a significant cyber incident under new laws like NIS2.

This isn’t just red tape—it’s Europe’s attempt to build real-time digital resilience.

Could your org meet the deadline?

🔓 200M X (Twitter) user records leaked in a 34GB free-for-all—again.

Data enthusiast “ThinkingOne” released the files after allegedly failing to get a response from X. The breach combines:
・Data from a 2022 vulnerability X previously downplayed
・January 2025 breach data
・A total of 2.8 billion records spanning X user IDs, emails, bios, locations & more

X continues to deny its systems were the direct source of the leak. But researchers confirm much of the data is real—and the scale is unmatched.

💡 The kicker? ThinkingOne believes this might’ve required internal access, or an attack of unprecedented sophistication.

Even without passwords, this treasure trove fuels phishing, impersonation, and targeted disinformation.

In this blog series, the author discussed how digital strategy and digital risk are essential to kickstarting a security transformation journey. He then looked into the use cases of secure access service edge (SASE) architecture with security service edge (SSE) capabilities and zero trust as part of the journey. https://www.netskope.com/blog/3-key-use-cases-along-the-sase-zero-trust-journey #DigitalStrategy #DigitalRisk #SecureAccessServiceEdge #ZeroTrust
