The Security System Built to Protect You Has a Growing Blind Spot

When a security flaw is discovered in software, there’s a process most people don’t think about but quietly rely on: the vulnerability gets logged, tracked, and eventually shows up on a security dashboard so security teams know how to fix it. These dashboards help security teams see which systems need updates, which software has known flaws, and which patches should be prioritized....

Pope Leo XIV’s Magnifica Humanitas Places AI in a Human Context

Artificial intelligence is often discussed in terms of speed, innovation, and productivity. On May 25, 2026, Pope Leo XIV publicly presented his new encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, which places AI in a broader context: the dignity of the human person. The encyclical was formally signed on May 15, 2026, and focuses on “safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence.” It draws from Catholic Social Doctrine and addresses AI through themes such as human dignity, the common good, truth, freedom, education, responsibility, and social justice....

The Password Problem

The Problem with Traditional Passwords Despite their long-standing use, passwords have several well-known weaknesses. Many users rely on weak or easily guessable passwords, reuse the same credentials across multiple platforms, or fall victim to phishing attacks designed to steal login information. Cybercriminals often exploit these behaviors through large-scale data breaches and credential-stuffing attacks. Once a password is exposed in one breach, it can potentially be used to access multiple accounts....
