The Canvas Hack Is a New Kind of Ransomware Debacle

Wired describes the recent Canvas breach as an unusually disruptive ransomware-style extortion incident because one attack on Instructure's learning platform temporarily paralyzed thousands of schools during finals and end-of-year assignments. The hackers using the "ShinyHunters" name claim more than 8,800 schools were affected, while Instructure says exposed data included names, email addresses, student ID numbers, and platform messages. From the report: Higher education has long been a target of ransomwar

Почему технические директора не проходят в CIO: портфель проектов против навыка «докрутить»

Обычные карьерные советы - отполировать резюме, нарешать кейсы на собеседованиях, подготовить легенду об уходе с прошлого места - работают ровно до позиции руководителя департамента. Дальше, на уровне CIO, CDTO или исполнительного директора, эти инструменты не просто бесполезны, а вредны. Они создают иллюзию контроля.Год назад я разбирал ситуацию с действующим IT-директором крупной госкорпорации (38 лет, 16 лет в IT). Он хотел прыгнуть на уровень выше.

SaaS умирает? Я сравнил 8 публикаций Q1 2026 с тем, что вижу внутри Kaiten

Последние месяцы я вижу одну и ту же мысль: SaaS умирает, AI-агенты забирают работу из интерфейсов, а компании перестают платить за пользовательские лицензии. На первый взгляд кажется, что так и есть.  Если агент может сам прочитать CRM, создать задачу, разобрать заявку, сходить в API и принести руководителю готовый статус, зачем держать десятки людей в системе? Пусть машина сама делает работу, а человек только проверяет. Но когда смотришь на это изнутри... Read more

Privacy-by-design: что наш edge не пишет на диск и почему это сложнее, чем кажется

Я пилю VantageDNS — рекурсивный DNS-резолвер с фильтрацией. NextDNS-clone, если коротко: юзер настраивает роутер на наш DoH endpoint, а мы рекурсивно резолвим и заодно режем рекламу, трекеры и malware.Privacy-фокус для такого продукта это не маркетинговая фича, а архитектурное ограничение, которое надо тащить с первого дня.
