So the #Canvas folks paid the ransom (see https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/us/canvas-instructure-hackers-deal.html).
What's totally crazy is this statement from #Instructure (see https://www.instructure.com/incident_update), the makers of Canvas:
> We received digital confirmation of data destruction (shred logs).
Someone please explain that to me.

"Full tunnel or nothing" is a security theater that kills network performance. If your CISO still pushes 0.0.0.0/0 through a 1Gbps pipe for remote workers streaming Netflix, you're not securing anything—you're just bottlenecking your own business. Split tunnel for corporate traffic. Let home traffic stay local. Stop pretending your firewall inspects TLS 1.3. #NetworkEngineering #SecurityTheater

I'd say you had to have pretty low morals to work for the TSA to begin wth.

🚨 Oh no! The dreaded #Glassworm is back, like a transparent hacker on a mission to confuse developers with invisible #Unicode attacks. With 150 #GitHub repositories compromised, the solution is a dizzying list of acronyms and jargon that promises to protect your code, but only if you squint hard enough to see it! 🐛🔍 #SecurityTheater

Oh, the irony! 🤦♂️ An article about #intelligence blocked by a digital bouncer who can't even recognize a friendly human. #ACM.org proving once again that security theater is the real IQ test. 🚫🧠

I wonder if the company that pays me understands how much their security theater and vendor choices cost them?
It is Tuesday, and this week I've exceeded spending one full hour of my work week on security and login issues. Not to count the focus/flow loss that that entails. Which probably at least doubles it.
And I don't work with anything that is considered sensitive data. At all.

I have published a new article on security theater and tickbox security, two pitfalls that can harm security strategy. They can cause resource waste, false security, and vulnerability. I have been interested in this topic for a long time, and I have updated the article with the latest insights and examples.
