Keep an eye out, breaches leave patterns

Most major security breaches in the last five years had one thing in common. Not just unpatched vulnerabilities, but a decision someone made to live with it. A VPN credential that never got rotated, an admin account that outlasted the employee who owned it, or a privilege elevation request approved because it was easier than asking questions. The details change, but the pattern doesn't. This isn't a story about sophisticated attackers. It's a story about blind spots, misplaced trust, and what happens when organizations mistake the absence of an incident for the presence of security.

Proving the Breach: Visual Strategies for Security Litigation

Cybersecurity incidents create massive messes for companies. Judges and juries need to see how a breach happened to make a fair choice. Visual aids help tell this story clearly.

NSW Treasury Breach, ABAC, and Principles of Least Privilege

Recent headlines heralded another unfortunate security breach: an employee of the NSW Treasury in Sydney, Australia, illegally downloaded more than 5,600 sensitive government documents, which were later recovered at his home.

On April 22, 2026, Google's Threat Intelligence Group and Mandiant disclosed a campaign by a threat actor they're tracking as UNC6692. The group breached enterprise networks by impersonating IT helpdesk staff over Microsoft Teams, ultimately exfiltrating Active Directory databases and achieving full domain compromise. What's notable about UNC6692 is what they didn't do. They didn't use a zero-day. They didn't exploit a software vulnerability.

One Checkbox Away: The Vercel Breach and the Case for Zero Standing Privileges

There’s never a good time to disclose a breach, but days before your IPO has to rank near the bottom of the list. That was the backdrop to the Vercel breach. On Sunday the 19th, the company confirmed that attackers had walked into parts of its internal environment and walked back out with customer API keys. Early reporting focused on the flashy parts: an attacker claiming ties to ShinyHunters, a $2 million BreachForums demand, crypto teams rotating credentials with the IPO roadshow in full swing.

The Hims Data Breach: What Standing Access Costs in Healthcare

Hims & Hers, one of the biggest telehealth platforms in the U.S., just disclosed that millions of customer records were exposed. Not because of some sophisticated exploit, but because a single compromised login had standing access to a connected platform. One identity was all it took. This breach is worth paying attention to not because it’s unusual, but because it’s so ordinary.
