Collaborate Disseminate
Spiders! Ok, not your normal start to a weekly update but yeah, we had a bit of an infestation this week which did take the mind of other current events for a while. Much of what’s happened beyond that this week has resulted in various tweet storms; the Zoom credential
Hot on the heels of onboarding the USA government to Have I Been Pwned last month, I’m very happy to welcome another national government – Iceland! As of today, Iceland’s National Computer Security Incident Response Team (CERT-IS), now has access to the full gamut of their gov domains for both
