L’Ascesa e Caduta degli Dei delle Password: La Discesa di Zia Gertrude nel Tunnel Senza Fine di Hash e Sale Se Zia Gertrude capisse quanto è cruciale la sicurezza della sua ricetta segreta delle polpette, probabilmente assumerebbe un CISO per sorvegliare la sua cucina. E invece no, la sua ricetta—come la maggior parte delle password—vive in uno stato precario: un pezzetto di carta infilato sotto la teglia. E, proprio come la maggior parte di noi, sottovaluta le conseguenze di una pessima igiene delle password.

per chi mi segue su X sa che di tanto in tanto mi diletto a mettere post assolutamente ironici ridicoli e falsi fino al midollo (e in questa ultima accezione preferiti da Musk). provo a riportarne qualcuno degli ultimi sperando possa sollevare un sorriso. esiste anche una versione inglese analoga (ma non uguale) molti sono identici nelle 2 lingue ma alcuni sono specifici per una audience che, tradotto, significa alcuni sono per i lettori di gringolandia, alcuni per le italiche genti ed alcuni per tutti. quando si parla di sicurezza in Italia si fa sul serio: 30 set 2024 BREAKING…
The Great Digital Confession: When CEOs, Politicians, and Experts Agree – They Know Nothing Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the era of leadership without a clue. Imagine a CEO stepping onto the stage, flanked by their board of directors and a carefully selected backdrop of screens showing animated graphs and buzzword-filled slogans. The audience holds its breath as the CEO leans into the microphone and utters the unthinkable: “We don’t understand digitalisation. We don’t understand information security. Never have. Never cared. And frankly, we’ve been winging it this whole time.” What a revelation it would be if this honesty weren’t…
Chapter 2: bot&troll Table of Contents 1. Introduction: The Tension Between Free Speech and Misinformation Social media has revolutionized global communication, enabling individuals to connect and share information across vast distances in an instant. This unprecedented ability to broadcast and consume content, however, has also ushered in tremendous challenges. On the one hand, traditional democratic values emphasize free speech and the unimpeded flow of ideas. On the other hand, unscrupulous actors can exploit the very mechanisms designed for open discourse. Through the manipulation of algorithms, the creation of bot accounts, and coordinated troll campaigns, they can spread misinformation far faster…

Introduction The modern world is a whirlwind of memes, breaking news, questionable diet tips, and curious cat videos (featuring felines in astronaut costumes, naturally). Social media has become our primary arena for discussing politics, pop culture, and bizarre conspiracies about alien lizard overlords. In the midst of this digital maelstrom, a great challenge has emerged: ensuring that at least some proportion of the information…
TikTok, Disinformation, and the Social Media Manipulation Machine: who’s bad? TikTok—the digital bogeyman of our times. From corrupting the youth to endangering democracy, it’s been vilified as the ultimate evil of the internet. Governments wring their hands over its alleged ties to Beijing, competitors clutch their pearls at its meteoric rise, and yet… TikTok might just be the least biased of the major platforms. Shocking, isn’t it? Meanwhile, other platforms (naming no names, but think Musk’s X and Zuckerberg’s empire) are playing the same game—just with a Western spin on the rules. Algorithms manipulate what we see, moderation policies leave…
Information Security: A Cultural Circus with a Tragic Finale If cybersecurity has anything in common with seatbelts, motorcycle helmets, and the Mediterranean diet, it’s this: everyone knows they’re essential, but hardly anyone bothers to use them. Why? The answer is as obvious as it is depressing: culture. Or, more specifically, the complete lack thereof. Cybersecurity—digital or otherwise—is, above all, a cultural issue. It’s not about technology, regulations, or ISO standards with titles longer than a queue for Wimbledon. Sure, those things help, but without a solid cultural foundation, they’re little more than decorative knick-knacks, like your grandma’s lace doilies on…
