Building APIs is so simple. Caveat, it's not. Actually, working with tools with no security, you've got a consumer and an API service, you can pretty much get that up and running on your laptop in two or three minutes with some modern frameworks. Then, authentication and authorization comes in. You need a way to model this.

Passwords get hacked all the time, but they can't be hacked if they don't exist...this allows a small team like 404 to spend less time managing security administration, and more time investing in bringing you stories you care about.

While you're thinking about third-party add-ons for your computer and phone, take a moment to review everything you have installed on both fronts and consider how many of those programs you actually still use. The fewer cracked windows you allow on your Google account, the better - and if you aren't even using something, there's no reason to keep it connected.

2FA or two-factor authentication is a specific type of multi-factor authentication. As the name suggests, 2FA requires two distinct forms of user verification factors to access a specific protected, registered user-only software system. In the past, software teams used only a one-factor authentication strategy with users' passwords, but nowadays, with growing security concerns and user authentication evolution, every digital product uses 2FA with password-based authentication, starting from simple SMS OTPs (One Time Tokens) to futuristic AI-powered adaptive 2FA methods and high-security hardware keys.

An FBI informant helped run the Incognito dark web market and allegedly approved the sale of fentanyl-laced pills, including those from a dealer linked to a confirmed death, WIRED reported this week.

Near-identical password reuse occurs when users make small, predictable changes to an existing password rather than creating a completely new one. While these changes satisfy formal password rules, they do little to reduce real-world exposure. Here are some classic examples: Adding or changing a number Summer2023! → Summer2024! Appending a character Swapping symbols or capitalization Welcome! → Welcome? AdminPass → adminpass Another common scenario occurs when organizations issue a standard starter password to new employees, and instead of replacing it entirely, users make incremental changes over time to remain compliant.

Those hoping for a reprieve following last week's patch pantomime are out of luck. After users reported successful compromises of FortiCloud SSO accounts, despite being patched against an earlier flaw, the vendor confirmed there was an alternate attack path. According to a security advisory published Tuesday, that alternate path was assigned a separate vulnerability identifier (CVE-2026-24858, CVSS 9.4), and the company disabled FortiCloud SSO connections made from vulnerable versions.

Vulnerabilities discovered by researchers in Dormakaba physical access control systems could have allowed hackers to remotely open doors at major organizations. The security holes were discovered by experts at SEC Consult, a cybersecurity consulting firm under Atos-owned Eviden, in Dormakaba's Exos central management software, a hardware access manager, and registration units that enable entry via a keypad, fingerprint reader, or chip card.
