The vibe Motivated by the return of racing while navigating a few rough nights and a busy week of security work. Highlights This week kicked off the new season of F1! I have been waiting for this for a few month now. This season beings all new era for F1; new rules, regulations, and new car designs. The first race...
I’m back with Part 5 of the Everyday Defense track in my CybersecKyle Security How-To Series. Here’s what we’re going to cover: the pressure patterns scammers lean on, the exact one-minute routine to follow, and the safest ways to verify messages without using an attacker’s links or phone numbers. Most scams do not...
These past few weeks have been pretty rough for me, as you might have seen. I recently just haven’t felt like myself. Haven’t felt like getting on the internet much at all. As a result of that, I haven’t been writing much articles/posts on the blog. I have been trying to get back into the groove of things, but it...
Sorry for another late post. It has been a busy week again plus I have just been taking a break from the internet. As a result, I haven’t been writing as much. The vibe A “touch grass” week in the best way. Less internet, more real life: catching up with a friend, upgrading a couple comfort essentials at home, and...
I have been seeing a noticeable increase in unwanted applications showing up on client endpoints lately. Not full-on ransomware. Not always an obvious infection. Just the annoying middle layer: adware, PUPs, and browser junk that eats time, breaks trust, and quietly expands the attack surface. WaveBrowser,...
Yesterday was a busy Monday so yet again, I am writing these notes on Tuesday. But hey, better late than never, right? Let’s dive into the weekly notes for week 7 of 2026! The vibe Practical, steady, and a little cozy: health check relief, home-office rhythm, sports on in the background, and just enough “new tool...
(Image generated using ChatGPT) I have spent years doing the boring, unsexy work of keeping systems safe: least privilege, logging, MFA, segmentation, the whole “trust nothing” routine that MSP and security folks live in. So when Ring used the Super Bowl LX stage on February 8, 2026 to pitch its AI-powered Search...
Let me preface this by saying… Let’s GO SUPER BOWL CHAMPS! 🏆🏈 My Seahawks did it! We got the revenge we’ve been waiting for. Okay now for the weekly notes. LOL The vibe A mostly steady, practical week with a lot going right, right up until one “helpful” automation reminded me that logs are sacred and the SOC has...
(Image generated with ChatGPT) At 1:15 a.m. on 2/8, my phone lit up like it was auditioning for a disaster movie. Our SOC was calling in full panic mode: “Something is clearing activity on endpoints. We’re seeing logs getting wiped.” My brain did the normal triage routine: compromise? lateral movement? attacker...
A SIEM is supposed to help you see an attack while it’s still unfolding, not three weeks later during a postmortem. In practice, a lot of SIEMs end up as expensive log warehouses that nobody wants to touch unless something is already on fire. This post breaks SIEM down into the real pipeline: how telemetry gets...
