A summer of lobster bakes as a kid, and no curiosity about how it got to the table. The seafood sector’s cybersecurity record has made that kind of distance harder to maintain. Nine public incidents in six years, and the 2026 cluster is the worst yet. open.substack.com/pub/kristinm...

PAS 96:2026 did something important. It moved cybercrime and OT into the food defence conversation where they belong. I wrote about what the update gets right, what I hope comes next, and the practical questions food teams should ask now. Link: open.substack.com/pub/kristinm...

The food and agriculture sector has no playbook for deepfakes. AI-generated videos are already shaping how people think about farm practices, food assistance, and safety. The attack aimed directly at a named farm or processor hasn’t happened yet. kristindemoranville.substack.com/p/when-the-f...

AI animal videos feel harmless. Cute, strange, funny and sometimes upsetting. But repetition teaches expectations, and those expectations don’t stop at the screen. I wrote about what that means for animals, safety, and the places where people encounter both. open.substack.com/pub/kristind...

Nothing resets at midnight. Food systems don’t pause. Farms don’t stop. Cyber risk doesn’t wait for a countdown. 2025 didn’t introduce new risks — it made the old ones impossible to ignore. New essay on food, ag, and why “fresh starts” are a myth. open.substack.com/pub/kristind...
