Zero Day for My Blog

This blog was born from a simple realisation: the most dangerous conflicts of our time aren’t fought in trenches or skies, but in the shadows of our digital world. After several years working in cyber security and cyber threat intelligence, I’ve witnessed how a single line of code can topple corporations, sway elections, and even freeze entire cities.

The rules have changed. We are living through a silent revolution, where hacker collectives have evolved into private armies, where a teenager in one country can hold a hospital in another hostage with ransomware, and where nations now stockpile zero-day exploits as nuclear codes. This isn’t just about hackers anymore—it’s about how cyber warfare is rewriting the playbook of global power.

Here, we’ll lift the veil on these hidden battles. We’ll explore why an attack on a Ukrainian power grid wasn’t just an IT failure, but a warning shot in a new Cold War. We’ll track how tech companies find themselves caught in geopolitical crossfire, whether they want to or not. And we’ll pose uncomfortable questions, such as what happens when AI-generated deepfakes start destabilising democracies faster than fact-checkers can keep up.

I’m writing this for the inquisitive—for those who read a news headline about a data breach and wonder about the story behind the story. If you’ve ever found yourself delving into the complexities of Stuxnet, or if terms like “APT29” and “supply chain attack” make you lean in rather than glaze over, you’ll find a home here.

First up: The Energy Gamble: Security Risks and Geopolitical Tensions in Guinea Bissau. It’s going to be a thrilling journey. Want to join me? You are more than welcome.
