Cyber Essentials Danzell Now in Effect: What Organisations Need to Know
From today, the Cyber Essentials changes are officially in effect, with updates designed to strengthen the scheme, reduce ambiguity and make assessments more consistent. While the five core controls remain the same, several of the new rules will have a direct impact on how organisations prepare for certification. The most significant change is the tougher […]
Exploiting Mobile Apps Using Frida
This post explores how the Frida dynamic instrumentation toolkit can be used to bypass common mobile app security controls on both Android and iOS. Using real-world testing examples, it demonstrates how root detection, in-app scoring, and premium content restrictions can be manipulated when protections rely too heavily on client-side logic. The findings highlight the importance of enforcing access control and validation on the server to prevent exploitation.

UK Government Proposes Ban on Public Sector Ransomware Payments
On 22nd July 2025, the UK Government announced a significant legislative proposal aimed at reducing the incentive for ransomware attacks. Under the proposed law, public sector bodies and operators of Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) — including schools, local councils, the NHS, utilities, and data centres — would be prohibited from paying ransoms to cybercriminals. The […]
Why bother with Physical Breach Tests?
A physical red team (breach) test is a real-world simulation of a physical breach. Think: tailgating into a secure office, picking locks, planting rogue devices, or accessing server rooms without authorisation. Unlike standard security audits, red teamers think and act like real adversaries – covertly probing for the weakest link in physical security protocols, policies, […]
How We Got Here: A Brief Reflection on Cybersecurity’s Foundations
Computer technology as we know it, has existed for the merest blip of time in human history. In less than 90 years we have gone from valves and punchboards to pushing the boundaries of quantum states in an attempt to achieve computations that would take millions of years to achieve otherwise. We landed people on […]
Initial Access Brokers – The Gateway to Ransomware and Supply Chain Attacks
Initial Access Brokers (IABs) are part of the cybercrime-as-a-service ecosystem. They have become the first step in a number of high-profile compromises resulting in ransomware and supply-chain threats. These groups collect, package and sell credentials from a variety of sources for a variety of systems (such as VPN, RDP, SSH, etc), selling them with details […]
Abuses of AI
Much like Google and Anthropic, OpenAI have released their latest report on how threat actors are abusing AI for nefarious ends, such as using AI to scale deceptive recruitment efforts, or using AI to develop novel malware. It is no surprise that as AI has become more pervasive, cheap to gain access to, and readily […]
