Are NFTs the future of event marketing? I don't think so! Why? Because of serious sustainability and purchase complexity concerns.

New quantum snake oil just dropped: "HNDL detection" products and services.

In my new piece I call out "HNDL detection" market for what it is: exfiltration detection rebranded with a quantum label.

The core physics, passive collection (fiber splitter, receive-only RF, satellite dish) generates no observable event inside the victim's network. Zero. Your firewall, IDS, EDR, SIEM, NDR, and ML behavioral analytics all operate inside a boundary the collection never crosses. There is no packet to inspect because no packet was generated. There is no behavioral anomaly because the victim's traffic is identical whether or not a copy was made.

Every "HNDL detection" solution I've examined monitors NetFlow telemetry for outbound volume anomalies, unusual destinations, off-hours transfers, and encrypted tunnels to unexpected endpoints. That detects breaches and exfiltration. Useful, not new, and not what HNDL means.

The article covers the physics in depth: fiber tap insertion loss (0.002 dB per tap, per US Patent 4,802,723, below OTDR noise floor), the detection boundary problem (even where physical-layer detection is theoretically possible, the entity that can detect is the infra owner, not the data owner), LO leakage as the one genuine RF edge case (Ghostbuster, MobiCom 2018: 5m reliable, 14m best case, defeated by Phantom Eavesdropping LO whitening), and the historical record (Ivy Bells, Room 641A, Tempora: every major passive tap exposed by a human, never a detector).

Also covers the intent gap: even after a confirmed breach, no technical control can tell you the adversary plans to store data for future quantum decryption. You can confirm a theft. You cannot confirm a timeline.

The defense is ML-KEM (FIPS 203) on your long-lived confidentiality flows. Not a dashboard.

@eriksandblom
but ... we do know: helmets prevent head injury.

conclusion from a #metaanalysis:

> Bicycle helmet use was associated with reduced odds of head injury, serious head injury, facial injury and fatal head injury.
https://academic.oup.com/ije/article/46/1/278/2617198?login=false

i think the #helmet debate is more about whether it is #victimblaming to burden #cyclists with wearing protective equipment against #motorist violence.

we are not just selling #snakeoil from our bicycle shops. 🪖

Wow – pure SnakeOil, those so-called anti-virus or anti-malware scanners! "we are unable to proceed with the whitelisting request unless the application is available on the Google Play Store"?!? WTF?!? 🤯

And yes, that's part of a real response a dev got.

So they claim: your app is malware, as long as it is not at Google Play. I'd say we've heard it the other way around, too…

We humans havent evolved since the time of snake-oils and (fake) miracle cures as much as people would like to imagine. We have the same mental capacities as the people in the past - just less starved, more distracted, and absolutely exhausted by capitalism and not natural ways of living.

So next time you see a video about this ONE THING THAT CURES IT ALL - don't follow the footprint and get scammed. Be smart. Be vigilant. And if you fell for it - just avoid it next time.

Remember - scammers will claim that one thing heals everything. For example: Taking D-vitamin is great for you, especially when you lack it, but it is NOT a cure-all, and lack of it is NOT the cause for every damn ailment.
