My newest Citation Needed project made an appearance on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver! It’s a work in progress, but you can see the new interactive version of my map of the Trump family’s crypto ventures at https://map.citationneeded.news/.
The map contains hundreds of business entities and links to the Trump family (with more being added!), augmented with data from the president’s most recent financial filings to estimate how much money is flowing in. It will be queryable by other researchers/journalists.

Hope you're having a better day than the folks at Ziggo who pushed a remote firmware update that bricked eleven thousand customers' cable modems. https://tweakers.net/nieuws/251384/ziggo-vervangt-11000-modems-van-zakelijke-klanten-vanwege-technisch-defect.html

I've recently scanned DKIM keys for vulnerabilities, more extensively than previous scans. DKIM keys with the Debian OpenSSL bug are still very common. So are too-short RSA keys (quite a few 512 and even 384 bit keys, and *many* 768 bit, which is still difficult to break, but possible).
Also, a notable number publish a private key in their DKIM record. (This is only a problem if they actually use the same key elsewhere correctly.)
I tried disclosing things, but manual disclosure impractical for thousands of affected hosts and automated disclosure is difficult (plenty without security.txt, security@ often is rejected).
Replies to disclosures also show a common misunderstanding: People believe they are unaffected saying these keys are old and unused. This shows a fundamental confusion about how digital signatures work. Attackers don't care if you use insecure keys as long as they can use them.
Some stats for the latest scan: https://monitor.badkeys.info/dkim/2026-08-11-dkim-badkeys.html

New on Insinuator: Part 1 of a four-part series on token theft in Microsoft Entra ID, accompanying ERNW White Paper 80.
The target is no longer the password or even MFA, but the token issued once authentication succeeds.
Part 1 covers the threat landscape and the techniques: direct token theft and PRT abuse, AiTM phishing, device code phishing, consent phishing, ClickFix and the ConsentFix family, plus where Microsoft's defense-in-depth strategy still leaves gaps.
