A remote intruder raised a Florida treatment plant’s lye setpoint from 100 to 11,100 ppm and an operator watching the screen reverted it in minutes. The incident file on shared passwords, exposed TeamViewer, and why OT security failed at a municipal water utility.
The incident file on Operation Ladybird: how eight countries dismantled Emotet’s 700-server botnet from inside its own update mechanism, why the loader-as-a-service model made Emotet the on-ramp for Ryuk and Conti ransomware, how the brand was rebuilt from TrickBot within ten months, and what the takedown teaches about the ceiling of law-enforcement disruption.

How a privacy-policy notice nobody had read moved millions of users to Signal and Telegram in a week, what WhatsApp actually changed (and what it did not), and why platform-trust collapse is a security event enterprises must plan for.
The full incident file on the SolarWinds SUNBURST supply-chain attack: how SVR-linked actors compromised the Orion build pipeline, trojanized signed updates reaching 18,000 customers, hand-picked under 100 targets including nine US federal agencies, and forged SAML tokens to persist. Includes the technical anatomy, timeline, impact numbers, and the build-pipeline hardening lessons that still define defender programs in 2026.
Two Exchange zero-days chained SSRF-to-RCE were sold on a forum before Microsoft’s November 2022 patch — and mass-exploited in the gap. Assume-the-edge lessons.
