Aren’t they the same company? Before we get into it, let’s discuss the Nord/Surfshark merger. In early February 2022, Nord Security and Surfshark announced they were merging, making Nord Security the owner of both companies. According to SurfShark’s merger blog post, the companies say they will continue to operate as separate companies, with separate VPN infrastructures. We have no doubt this is true… for now. Merging large infrastructures takes time, and neither player wants to cede performance or position to their competitors due to a botched operational merger....

ENISNA, the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity, has released the latest edition of the ENISA Threat Landscape (ETL) report, which analyses cyber-criminal activity between April 2020 and July 2021. It warns of a surge in cyber criminality, much of it driven by the monetisation of ransomware attacks. Although the paper warns that many different cybersecurity threats are on the rise, ransomware represents the ‘prime threat’ faced by organisations today, with a 150% rise in ransomware attacks during the reporting period....

The Transparent Inter Process Communication (TIPC) module has been designed to facilitate intra-cluster communication across Ethernet or UDP connections and is capable of service addressing, tracking, managing communication between nodes, and more. This protocol is implemented in a kernel module package with major Linux distros. On Thursday, SentinelOne researchers said that CodeQL has been used recently in bug hunting investigations on open source projects. CodeQL is a semantic code analysis engine that allows users to query code “as if it were data,” and it was this tool that allowed the team to find a severe bug in the TIPC module project....
