If you're keeping up with #oauth and #app #security, our resident specifications expert, Joe DeCock, summarizes the standards landscape as of summer 2026.

OAuth Identity Chaining, Transaction Tokens, and Human-in-the-Loop: Summer 2026 Identity Standards Recap
Joe DeCock covers three key identity standards milestones from summer 2026: OAuth Identity Chaining reaching Proposed Standard, the Transaction Authorization Challenge draft for human-in-the-loop approval, and Transaction Token chaining across trust domains.

From this perspective, today is a good day! Thanks to a team effort we succeeded in getting the #trivy warnings down to zero before the QS cycle starts.

Signal – Don’t forget to configure for privacy
In a business or non-profit environment, there is a good chance that your management team is using Signal. And why not? It brings security and privacy to messaging, file sharing, video and phone calls. Not only can you do one-to-one communications, you can create and manage groups. Sensitive business conversations can remain secret. What’s not to like about that?
Out-of-the-Box Signal needs attention to the configuration settings to get the best privacy. If you are a CISO or IT specialist, you can help your management team configure Signal for the best privacy.
After installing Signal on a mobil phone or desktop, review the configuration settings and adjust them as needed. Here is a free guide that will get you started:

'Security by antiquity': Why older tech is sometimes safer from hackers
The fear of hacking has made some people turn to other forms of technology ignored by new generations of cyber criminals.

"The TSA has an important job to do. Their actions at airports have been very poor. This creates lots of loss to travelers – waste. And their actions show a disrespect for people and the risks that exist. The #security theater is not what we need. We need evidence based security measure while maintaining a focus on the value stream of people flying."

If you ask me, it's advertising #propaganda and not a real call for respectful #security. Above all, AI is only so "smart" to what amount it is fed with #data in which context.

Dependency cooldowns are a nice idea, but I dare say they're a short-term solution.
They resemble the idea of avoiding poison by waiting for someone else to start eating first. That works, provided that someone actually eats first, and that the poison works fast. But eventually it leads to that awkward silence at the table when nobody wants to risk the first bite.
Adapting dependency cooldowns means basically waiting for "someone else" to notice the problem. At some point when large enough number of projects adapts them, we're going back to square one — except with an artificial few-day delay.

#Security #PasswordManager
Random question for those who use a browser plugin for a dedicated manager like BitWardon or LastPass or whatever.
How does this handle security vs the built in browser manager?
I know the in browser ones are not recommended and curious how having a plug-in to the BitWarden/LastPass 3rd party is different?

Honestly, what kind of scam #Akamai / #LInode is? They give you a form to report malicious activity from their network, you file it, you get "Error message to be decided", and it turns out they've banned you in the meantime; all their websites give you "Access denied".
And they host an exploit since 2021 at least: #security #abuse

Reading this, people could actually think Anthropic helps them keeping their data safe. However you still have to trust Anthropic itself that has access to all your data when using their AI or am i misreading it?

So some press covered Zuckerberg's mega yacht not responding to a distress call and rightfully saying the Law Of the Sea requires aid to be rendered if possible.
Now, there's apparently a Win10 zero-day vulnerability in the wild. A vulnerability that Microsoft HAS A FIX FOR.
And yet they won't allow you to run it if you haven't paid up for support.
They should be REQUIRED TO RELEASE the fix to all.
