Exciting developments in the realm of cybersecurity! The European Council has taken a significant step forward by adopting new regulations designed to enhance our digital safety. Building on the foundations laid by the Cybersecurity Act of 2019, these measures introduce a robust alert system to keep us informed and protected against potential threats. It's a powerful reminder of the importance of safeguarding our online spaces. Let's stay vigilant and embrace these changes for a safer digital future! #Cybersecurity #DigitalSafety #EURegulations

What would you do in a breach? 🚨
 
When cyber attackers strike, your technical defences aren’t the only things that matter. Preparations in non-technical areas can make a significant difference.

🔍 Sneak Peek:

Print key documents: Keep hard copies of insurance policies and incident response (IR) playbooks.

Create a WhatsApp group: Use personal numbers to stay connected.

Plan for unreachable executives: Delegate authority for critical decisions.

Secure IR contracts early: Be ready to act quickly with a trusted provider.

Save IR contacts: Store key numbers on your personal phone.

PR and Legal: Ensure you or your IR partner have plans in place to manage legal and PR issues.

As the political landscape shifts, discussions around cybersecurity are heating up! With expectations that a future Trump administration may loosen business cybersecurity regulations and shift focus away from human rights issues surrounding spyware, the implications for both businesses and individuals could be significant. What do you think this means for our digital safety and the ongoing battles against cyber threats? Let's dive into the conversation! #Cybersecurity #DigitalSafety #Politics

🚨 Heads up, everyone! I've learned from #Perplexity that Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. After this date, no more security updates will be provided, making devices potentially vulnerable. Here are some options:
Continue Using Windows 10: It will still work, but consider third-party security tools.
Upgrade Workarounds: Some methods exist to bypass Windows 11's hardware requirements.
Switch to Linux: Consider lightweight Linux distributions for older hardware.
Stay informed and secure! 🖥️🔒

Ok everyone, it's time to be a lot more careful about what you post publicly. And remember that servers can be seized or administrators can willingly give up stuff and "hidden" posts can be visible. Leaks/hacks can happen. It may help to set your posts to delete after some period in your profile settings. This won't stop archives though. Be careful what you post. They're going to be doing keyword searches in particular.

Be safe everyone.
