Writing on cloud infrastructure, digital sovereignty and open systems.
- Helsinki Shut, NATO Scrambled: Drone Alerts Hit Finland, Latvia Finland and Latvia sounded parallel overnight drone alerts on 15 May. NATO fighters scrambled, Helsinki-Vantaa briefly shut. Read alongside two years of Baltic seabed cable incidents, the pattern reframes European digital sovereignty as operational, not theoretical.
- Nine Weeks Open: Inside CVE-2026-41940 (cPanel/WHM Bypass) A technical walkthrough of the WHM/cPanel authentication bypass — how the exploit chain works, what the in-the-wild numbers actually mean, and the structural lessons for anyone running infrastructure.
- One bad signature took down major .de sites for three hours On 5 May 2026 a single malformed signature blacked out .de for hours. The same class of failure is structurally available to .no, .se and .dk.
- Copy Fail: why a local Linux bug matters in Kubernetes and CI/CD CVE-2026-31431 (Copy Fail) is a Linux kernel local privilege escalation. It looks local on paper, but in Kubernetes, CI/CD and multi-tenant hosts the risk is platform-scale.
- We built something for the capacity that was already there Cloud infrastructure runs below peak utilization most of the time. That idle headroom is already paid for. WAYSCloud Impact puts it to work for research.
- Russia isn't censoring the internet. It's redesigning dependence. Russia is not blocking the internet. It is engineering a new kind of dependence — where state-approved services stay available and the open world becomes friction. Here is how that architecture works, and why it is more effective than a blackout.
- Telecom signaling is still a location privacy problem Ofcom and Citizen Lab show how mobile-network signaling can still expose location-sensitive data. Telia Norway adds a separate SIP/IMS example.
- When the grid goes dark: infrastructure dependency in Europe A regional outage is never local in a connected infrastructure landscape.
- What this map reveals about Norway’s fragile digital connections A look at how Norway’s reliance on a few subsea cables creates hidden vulnerabilities — and why digital infrastructure is more fragile than it seems.
