In April 2025, the global cybersecurity world almost lost CVE — the bedrock of vulnerability tracking — not to hackers, but to sheer bureaucratic incompetence. While politicians played games and cyber defenders were told to look the other way, the fragile, outdated systems of CVE and CVSS staggered toward collapse.

We didn’t fix them. We barely taped them back together. This isn’t just a story of near-miss disaster — it’s a full-blown indictment of cybersecurity's rotting foundations. If we do not burn it all down and rebuild, the next collapse won’t be a warning. It will be the end.

Think Windows 11 was secure? Think again. A critical flaw let attackers hijack full admin control in just 300 milliseconds using a tired old trick – DLL hijacking. Microsoft called it “Important” (because, sure, SYSTEM access is casual now), but for the rest of us, it was a neon sign saying “Hack me.”

Find out how your phone link feature became a hacker’s dream, why millions were left exposed for six months, and why patching yesterday might still not save you. How many ticking time bombs are hiding in Windows 11? Are you ready for the next one?

Google is stepping up Android security by introducing an automatic reboot feature. If your phone remains idle for three days after a critical update, it will now reboot itself to apply the patch and enhance your protection. This smart move helps close the vulnerability window users often leave open by ignoring reboot prompts.

Designed to be seamless and non-intrusive, the feature ensures devices are updated without disrupting daily use.

While not mandatory across all manufacturers yet, it signals a strong shift towards making mobile cybersecurity automatic, effortless, and unavoidable — exactly what modern users need in today’s fast-evolving threat landscape.

In April 2025, 4chan – the internet’s digital back alley – got thoroughly rinsed. A full-scale hack exposed moderators, leaked source code, and proved even the web’s most chaotic platforms aren’t immune to catastrophic failure. But here’s the twist: the real story isn’t the leak, it’s what it reveals about your own business.

If outdated software, poor access control, or silence-in-a-crisis sounds familiar, you’re already on thin ice. This isn’t just drama for meme lords – it’s a neon-lit warning for UK SMBs. Find out what happened, who did it, and how not to be next.

Oracle just got hacked—badly—and their excuse? “It was just a legacy system.” That’s corporate-speak for we left the door wide open for four years and hoped no one would notice. Millions of records stolen, a $20 million ransom, and Oracle’s response was to shrug and point at the old kit.

If you’re running ancient servers and thinking it won’t happen to us, think again. This isn’t just Oracle’s disaster—it’s a wake-up call for every UK business still clinging to outdated tech. Want to know how a four-year-old bug turned into a PR nightmare? You’ll want to read this.

Still running Windows Server 2012 in 2025? You might as well leave your doors unlocked and shout “come on in” to attackers. End of life means no patches, no protection, and no excuse. This article explains why sticking with outdated infrastructure is a reckless liability, not a cost-saving strategy. From cyber insurance exclusions to ICO scrutiny and NCSC guidance, we break down the real-world risks UK businesses face.

You’ve been warned: unsupported systems aren’t just old — they’re dangerous. If your IT provider says otherwise, it’s time for a new one.

When your supplier suffers a cyber attack, it’s not just their mess to clean up — it can quickly become your problem too. This guide walks UK SMBs through exactly what to do if a supplier breach threatens your data, operations, or reputation.

From securing your systems and understanding GDPR obligations, to involving the right experts and tightening up contracts, you’ll learn how to stay one step ahead when the blast radius includes you.

Because in today's interconnected world, your security is only as strong as the weakest link in your supply chain — literally.

Google has patched a critical "Use After Free" vulnerability in Chrome, tracked as CVE-2025-3066, which could allow remote code execution via malicious web pages. The flaw was found in Chrome's Site Isolation feature—meant to protect users—ironically making it a prime attack vector.

Users on versions prior to 135.0.7049.84/.85 (Windows/Mac) or 135.0.7049.84 (Linux) are urged to update immediately. Left unpatched, this bug could let attackers install malware, steal data, or worse.

This is yet another reminder that browser updates aren’t optional—they’re essential. Don’t be the low-hanging fruit. Check your version and patch now.

They had the infrastructure. They had the trust. And they had the gall to cover up the very breach they caused. This isn’t fiction—it’s a real-world cybersecurity disaster involving a big-name MSP, a firewall misconfiguration, and a damning internal email that said “don’t tell the customer.”

Weeks later, the logs were useless, the excuses piled up, and the recovery bill is heading for six figures. If you think your MSP would never… think again. Here’s what went wrong, how it got exposed, and why a Cyber Essentials check could’ve stopped the whole mess cold.

Think your cyber security is airtight? Doesn’t matter — your suppliers might be the ones getting you hacked. One dodgy vendor, one reused password, and suddenly your business is in the headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Supply chain attacks are exploding, and most businesses have no idea who actually has access to their systems. If you’re blindly trusting every outsourced service, freelancer, or cloud tool without asking hard questions, you’re basically inviting cybercriminals in for tea.

Want to know how bad it really is — and what you should be doing right now? Read this before it’s too late.

The internet isn’t a safe space for everyone — especially if you’re a journalist, activist, or survivor of abuse. The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has released new guidance for people and communities at high risk of digital surveillance. And unlike most government advice, this is actually worth reading.

It’s direct, useful, and designed for the real world — covering everything from encrypted messaging to avoiding spyware.

Whether you're at risk or supporting someone who is, this guide offers clear, practical steps to help you stay safer online when the consequences of being tracked could be life-altering.
