As states chase digital sovereignty through clouds, AI and localized infrastructure, the internet's globally coordinated foundations reveal a harder truth: operational continuity depends less on control than on interoperable systems built on trust and governance. more
Recent court rulings in Europe and America are reshaping access to technical standards, weakening paywalls and strengthening the principle that publicly mandated knowledge belongs to citizens, regulators and increasingly AI systems that depend on machine-readable information. more
Cybersecurity pioneer Steven Bellovin's new book strips away jargon and outdated online-safety advice, offering ordinary users practical guidance on passwords, phishing, privacy and digital habits in an era of constant cyber threats and increasingly sophisticated scams. more
Subsea cables underpin global data flows, yet resilience, control and deep sea access now define digital sovereignty as governance fragments, hyperscalers consolidate ownership, and states prioritize survivability over efficiency in an increasingly contested geopolitical seabed. more
Domains enter a mature phase as AI reshapes discovery, security sharpens, and new gTLDs expand. Once simple addresses, they are becoming critical infrastructure for identity, trust, and automated commerce in the evolving web. more
Kinetic attacks on Gulf data centres expose the cloud's physical fragility, recasting AI infrastructure as strategic targets and accelerating bunkerisation, while outdated data laws leave firms choosing between legal compliance and digital survival. more
America has barred imports of new foreign-made routers, citing cybersecurity risks tied to espionage and infrastructure disruption, signalling a broader push to reduce reliance on Chinese technology in critical network systems. more
Self-propagating malware hidden in open-source software is targeting Iranian systems, wiping data on infected machines while sparing others, signalling a shift towards precise, politically motivated cyber sabotage through widely trusted digital supply chains. more
A once-trusted internet protocol is showing its age. DNSXplore, a global DNSSEC archive, exposes weaknesses, improves diagnostics and nudges adoption, helping secure the cryptographic chain underpinning online trust. more
The FCC warns telecom companies of rising ransomware threats after attacks quadrupled since 2022. The agency urges stronger defenses including patching, multifactor authentication, network segmentation, and closer oversight of vendors and incident response planning. more
ICANN is examining the widespread use of parked domains and zero-click redirection, seeking to understand how automated traffic routing and advertising practices affect transparency, consumer protection and trust in the global domain-name system. more
Security researchers have uncovered Kadnap malware infecting more than 14,000 routers worldwide, forming a resilient peer-to-peer botnet that exploits outdated edge devices and could enable covert communications, proxy traffic, and future cyber attacks. more
Iran's near-total internet blackout during airstrikes reveals how cyberattacks, sanctions and platform power can isolate a nation. The conflict shows digital infrastructure, satellites and cloud services becoming decisive weapons in modern geopolitical competition worldwide today. more
Bad actors are exploiting DNS with growing sophistication. New domains dominate threat infrastructure, daily user exposures are rising, and AI is accelerating attack creation, making DNS intelligence an increasingly critical early-warning system for modern cyber defence. more
Generative AI has turned brand impersonation from a nuisance into an industrial-scale threat, eroding trust. As ICANN's 2026 round approaches, DotBrand domains promise a structural fix to spoofing that strategies failed to deliver in 2012. more
