[SIGNALS WEEKLY] Telephony, Observability, and Identity Under Quiet Pressure

The boring stack moved. CUCM WebDialer. Splunk sidecar. Messaging recovery keys. Very normal. Very annoying.

[SIGNALS WEEKLY] Control Planes, Stealers, and Emerging AI-Tool Abuse

The control plane blinked. Management surfaces are still getting treated like furniture.

[SIGNALS WEEKLY] Converging on Exposed Management Planes

The management plane blinked. Everyone treated it like plumbing until the attacker used it like a front door. PeopleSoft PSEMHUB, REDCap, VPN gear, SD-WAN managers, logging sidecars — different products, same pattern. The exposed control layer keeps turning into the incident path.

[SIGNALS WEEKLY] Perimeter Pressure, Supply Chain Drift, and Identity Theft

The perimeter blinked. VPN portals and CI tokens are still doing incident cosplay.

[SIGNALS WEEKLY] Tokens, Edges, and Exploits: Shifting Paths to Compromise

The token survived. npm packages, CI/CD runners, and edge boxes keep turning “contained” into “still owned.” The boring weakness became the breach path.

[SIGNALS WEEKLY] Identity-First Intrusions and AI-Driven Attack Surface Shifts

The login was real. The control plane did the rest. Storm-2949 is the ugly part: one Entra ID identity can turn into SaaS theft and Azure abuse. Nobody owns this until incident day.

[SIGNALS WEEKLY] Edge Access, False Flags, and Emerging AI Attack Surfaces

The edge box blinked. PAN-OS, Ivanti, Teams lures, ClickFix, AI agents. Different doors. Same ugly pattern: access keeps hiding in the plumbing. The boring surface became the breach path.

[SIGNALS WEEKLY] Patch Cliffs, Supply Chain Drift, and Soft DevOps Underbellies

[FORECAST] Iran’s Cyber Window Stays Open—But the Novelty Bar Is Tougher Now (Updated: 2026-04-23)

The industry loves a neat PLC story because it keeps the threat in a box you can point at. The less fun version is when the same campaign walks through identity or an admin plane your org still treats like plumbing.

[SIGNALS WEEKLY] Quiet Shifts In Tradecraft, Loud Signals In Exposure

Everyone waits for the sexy zero-day. Meanwhile “IT” is in your Teams chat asking for Quick Assist, and your user clicks yes. The breach starts looking a lot like normal work.

[RESEARCH] CPU-Z was the lure. The real story is who buys the foothold.

The scariest part of the CPU-Z mess wasn’t STX RAT. It was the customer profile. Trusted utility, power-user endpoint, resale-ready access. Same old crime economy, better packaging.

[SIGNALS WEEKLY] Edge Devices, Identity Abuse, and KEV-Driven Exploitation Converge

The industry still talks like identity compromise begins at the login page. Meanwhile the path is edge box → DNS games → token theft → bad week for everyone pretending “strong auth” was the whole plan.
