Discord’s server-based community and communications were central to the 2023 Airman Jack Texeira case. Still, by all accounts, Discord-based comms usually run parallel to multi-player gaming activity amongst this age cohort. Fortnite, Minecraft, and Roblox? All are current building blocks of the future metaverse. The Global Gaming Ecosystem is all at once an attack surface…
The blockchain-based Root Name System (RNS) leverages blockchain technology to manage domain names in a decentralized manner – and is the core design and technical element of our recent blockchain-based use case, The Digital Residency Program of the Pacific Island Nation of Palau. Find an overview of RNS here.
In the first of our case studies in the OODA Loop Digital Self-Sovereignty Research Initiative, we turn to the digital residency program of the Pacific Island nation of Palau. Add digital residency platforms to the list – along with non-nation-state APT hacking groups and non-nation-state drone armies – as an at-work mechanism in the potential…
In February 2024, The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) attributed an increase in volume and structural changes in “interagency support” as the reasons behind a backlog of vulnerabilities analyzed in the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), which NIST operates, as “the organization struggled to process waves of new vulnerabilities.” Following is a tick-tock of…
