The flood has gotten everywhere. Both the ground floor and the basement with the generators’ fuel were under water. It was a disaster. “We really didn’t expect the storm to have a significant effect on the data center,” Peer 1’s vice president Ryan Murphey recounted a year later. His company had not prepared for the hurricane Sandy that was about to hit New York. New report forecast "Disasters could take down half of data centers worldwide." Let's drill down the risks of Climate-Driven CyberSecurity Risks

Norwegian police have seized a Russian-crewed ship, the Silver Dana on suspicion of being involved in causing “serious damage” to a fiber cable in the Baltic Sea between Latvia and Sweden. During last months several critical underwater cables had been attacked and there are many more at risk. This article addresses the risks and vulnerabilities with a general view and some concepts for future protection.

The massive digitalisation process the world has undergone in recent decades has led to an unprecedented demand for electronic devices. But while the mass electrification has significantly changed the way we live our lives, allowing us to reach and connect with the most remote areas on the planet, this revolution has also led to a global crisis: electronic waste.

The Swiss Federal Office of Transport (FOT) has introduced a pivotal cybersecurity directive to safeguard the nation’s railway system against emerging digital threats. This initiative responds to the growing reliance on interconnected technologies within the rail sector, addressing vulnerabilities and reinforcing Switzerland’s commitment to safety. By building on a history of innovative railway protections, the directive ensures the resilience of the country’s transportation infrastructure in an increasingly digitalized world. This article explores the historical evolution of railway safety in Switzerland, the key provisions of the directive, and its implications for the future.

Modern medicine stands at a fascinating crossroads, where technology isn't just aiding care but redefining it. From AI-powered diagnostic tools to interconnected implants, the healthcare ecosystem is evolving into an intricate network of devices and data. But for every leap forward, there’s an equal risk pulling us back—cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Medical device security has become not just a technical challenge but a question of trust, ethics, and even survival.

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has undeniably transformed the way we live, work, and interact with technology. From healthcare diagnostics to autonomous vehicles, AI has become a cornerstone of innovation. However, as with any powerful tool, AI has a dual nature. While it has the potential to solve some of humanity’s most pressing challenges, it has also become a weapon in the hands of cybercriminals.

Infrastructure connected to the internet becomes a target. Attacks like ransomware on hospitals or energy grids (e.g., the Colonial Pipeline hack) show how vulnerable tech-enabled infrastructure is.

Cybersecurity threats have become alarmingly pervasive, with ransomware and botnets posing serious risks to both critical infrastructure and residential systems in the United States. These threats are no longer isolated incidents but systemic challenges that jeopardize national security, public safety, and individual privacy. Moreover, the rise of dark web marketplaces offering cheap ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) kits and botnet rental services has further lowered the barrier to entry for cybercriminals, amplifying the scale and frequency of attacks.

In an era where social media dominates our lives, the boundary between truth and deception has never been so fragile. Platforms once heralded as champions of free speech are now battlegrounds of manipulation, misinformation, and a deliberate erosion of trust. Reduced content restrictions on these platforms, justified under the banner of freedom, might instead herald a dark age where free will becomes an illusion—and the younger generation is at the greatest risk.
