Iran's wartime internet restrictions transformed online access into a costly, unequal system, according to researcher Imad Payande, with black markets, selective connectivity and institutional privilege reshaping how citizens reached the global web.
Maria Xynou warns that internet censorship is becoming more sophisticated and less transparent as governments deploy targeted blocks, throttling and encrypted traffic interference, while OONI's crowdsourced measurements help researchers and human-rights groups expose restrictions and defend online freedoms worldwide.
Google says cybercriminals and state-backed hackers are rapidly adopting generative AI to automate attacks, disguise malware, exploit vulnerabilities and spread disinformation, marking a shift from experimental use to industrial-scale cyber operations across the global threat landscape.
Cybersecurity pioneer Steven Bellovin's new book strips away jargon and outdated online-safety advice, offering ordinary users practical guidance on passwords, phishing, privacy and digital habits in an era of constant cyber threats and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.
ARTICLE 19 warns that governments are increasingly exploiting internet infrastructure to silence critics, using domain suspensions to block entire websites while regulators and registry operators debate how to balance online safety, technical abuse prevention and freedom of expression.
A surge in massive cybersquatting disputes pushed UDRP domain-name cases sharply higher in early 2026, with two complaints alone accounting for more than a quarter of all disputed domains, according to a new report released by GigaLaw.
ICANN reopens applications for new top-level domains after 14 years, charging $227,000 per bid while tightening rules, as it seeks to expand multilingual access and reshape competition in the internet's naming system.
Iran's now 60-day internet blackout is inflicting heavy economic losses, disrupting exports and daily life, while a tiered access plan deepens inequality and signals a shift toward tighter state control of digital connectivity.
Iran-linked hackers infiltrated US industrial control systems, disrupting energy and water infrastructure. The attacks highlight systemic vulnerabilities in internet-connected devices and signal an enduring cyber threat despite easing geopolitical tensions.
Iran’s unprecedented internet blackout, imposed after February’s strikes, has reduced connectivity to near zero, tightened state control over information, and set a global precedent for wartime digital isolation with significant humanitarian consequences.
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.
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.
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.
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.
After US and Israeli strikes, Iran imposed a near-total internet blackout, yet citizens used satellite links and decentralized tools to share footage, undermining state control and exposing a growing contest over information in wartime.
