To determine which explanation…

Security has always been about controlling who can do what and where. In 2025, that control is mediated entirely by identity. When an attacker “logs in,” not “breaks in”, they inherit legitimate permissions, blend into normal telemetry, and pivot across AD, Entra/Okta, SaaS, and cloud, driving multi-million-dollar losses. Credentials, tokens, and service accounts have become…
Physicists discover mysterious new type of time crystal
Nature follows countless rhythms: the changing of the seasons comes from Earth’s orbit around the Sun, and the steady tick of a clock arises from the back-and-forth swing of its pendulum. These patterns can be described with simple mathematical laws. Yet, order can also appear in a far more surprising way — on its own,…
