The PQC evolution grinds forward: Cloudflare is becoming a certificate authority (CA) by buying GlobalSign (an existing CA) and issuing hybrid certificates that combine classic TLS certs with Merkle Tree certificates (a post-quantum equivalent). arstechnica.com/security/202...

Cloudflare plans to issue quantum-safe TLS certificates
The move will be part of a major overhaul of the ecosystem for website authentication.

New on this.weekinsecurity.com for paid subscribers: I explore how voice phishing — literally hackers calling people up and tricking them into giving over their passwords — has become a major underestimated threat. Hackers are breaching big tech giants to the tune of millions of people's data. 🐈‍⬛

I don't think everyone needs to use AI. I don't think it's good that AI is being shoved everywhere when it's not wanted or asked for. But I don't find the complete hatred of all AI tools productive or helpful to building a better internet. And others appear to be feeling the same thing.
