📈 Why is Monero (XMR) pumping today?

• +7.5% price surge in 24h
• $282M hack funds rotated into XMR via THORChain
• Low liquidity amplified the move
• Strong technical bounce from $614–625 support
• Renewed interest in privacy-focused assets
🔍 XMR shows how narrative + structure can move markets fast.
⚠️ But regulatory risks still loom large.

#Monero #XMR #CryptoEducation #Altcoins #Privacy

TLDR; there are 3 dimensions to privacy in crypto: confidentiality, anonymity, sender receiver unlinkability

Confidentiality
Hides transaction amounts but not sender or receiver.

K Anonymity
Masks identities within a group of k participants. Bigger sets mean stronger privacy.

Full Anonymity
Sender, receiver, and amount are all hidden. The strongest privacy—but hard to scale.

Sender Receiver Unlinkability
Prevents linking who paid whom, even if identities are known. Common in mixers.

Happy 51st birthday to me. Let's 🎉

A financial sector CISO recognizes the inherent risks of MCPs, that are used by agentic AIs, and role-plays the attackers to find vulnerabilities to protect the overall environment! Focusing red and purple team investments to areas that are likely to be leveraged by malicious adversaries is a great way to prioritize resources for maximum proactive benefit. 

This will be an area of intense risk in the coming year.

January 2026 brings 8 new K-dramas! From thrillers to rom-coms, the lineup is stacked and ready to stream.
Stories of love, loss, and destiny await.

Watch it here

2026 will be a transformational year for cybersecurity, fueled by Artificial Intelligence.

This is the full Top 10 Cybersecurity Predictions video. By the end, you will see how the maneuvering of the threat agents will win by exploiting the capabilities and momentum of AI technology adoptions, how security teams will need to rapidly adapt through the embrace of their own AI, and sitting at the top of the accountability will be a CISO transformation that must make the magic happen.

My 2026 cybersecurity predictions are out. I have been publishing predictions for 15 years now and this is the first year that all four aspects of the methodology I use to look into the chaos, was dominated by a single theme. I expect a very challenging year ahead.

Get ready. Start anticipating and planning now, as things will begin to move quickly in Q1.

Same sunrise. Same place. Same faces.
Yesterday and today look alike on the outside but everything changes within.

As we step into 2026 , the real difference is our approach, our thinking, our mindset, and our mission.
More clarity.
More courage.
More energy, enthusiasm, and passion to chase what truly matters.
New year is not just a change of date, but a renewed version of ourselves.
Happy New Year
Happy Thursday
🚀 Welcome 2026 , let’s make it meaningful

🔍 Why Is Monero Pumping Today?
Monero is outperforming as uncertainty hits rival privacy projects. After Zcash’s governance collapse, capital quickly rotated into XMR, now reclaiming the top spot in the privacy sector by market cap (~$8.5B).
📈 Price: ~$461
📊 24h Volume: ~$133M
⚙️ Technicals: Above 30D SMA, RSI still healthy
With privacy back in focus for 2026, Monero is once again being viewed as a “flight-to-safety” asset within crypto.

In 2026 two classes of threat actors will rise in the overall impact rankings: Data Harvester and Vulnerability Researcher. AI tools will benefit them greatly in their pursuits, which will have a cascading impact on the types of attacks and damage caused.

Nation States and Cybercriminals won’t be displaced from their top spots, but are you ready for the impacts of these two up-and-coming threat actor archetypes?

I wonder what the future of rhythm games would look like. In the last 10-20 years the gaming industry has boomed but rhythm games or what some call VSRGs have stayed somewhat similar. Maybe in the next 10 or 20 years something big will bloom?

Fog everywhere, visibility lost. 5°C cold that feels deep enough to touch the bones. Just returned from morning prayer and a short walk. It’s already 7:30 AM, yet the streets remain empty, no traffic, no rush, just stillness. Even the birds are silent today, my cheeku tree stands quiet, without a single chirp. Breakfast is simple and warm , boiled eggs, black tea, and a handful of dry fruits. ☕ Layered up with extra warmth , hoodie on, long socks.
Time to face the day calmly, steadily.

We be back to posting soon.

Former cybersecurity ransomware negotiator turns to the dark side and into a ransomware cybercriminal.
Here is another ugly lesson in “be careful who you trust, even in cybersecurity”. We have seen malicious individuals, deceitful vendors, and products which were poorly managed create victims across the globe.

Trust is the backbone of cybersecurity.

Conduct due diligence and don’t engage or do business with organizations, products, or people that are not trustworthy.

One of the most common misunderstandings in the health and fitness space is on the subject of fat loss — especially, belly fat.
It's not uncommon to find videos on YouTube with millions of views on belly fat loss with millions of views, most of which consist of circuit workouts that do very little to burn belly fat.

On my next long post, I will discuss this in depth, and give you correct, medically proven and scientifically accurate information on this subject matter.

Stay tuned.

My biggest lesson in crypto wasn’t about charts or indicators — it was learning to move from FOMO to discipline. Once emotions were under control, decisions became clearer and results more sustainable.

What are you looking out for in the world of crypto and Web3?

What if you could use streaming rewards to continually grow your underlying token liquidity? That would be tasty.

The possibilities for USD+ are very exciting.

USD+ isn't just another stablecoin on Solana. It's yield bearing dollar pegged asset which opens up meaningfully better use of stablecoins.

Wherever you see USDC on Solana think to yourself: Could this be better if that USDC balance was earning yield that was distributed directly to the holding wallet?

Starting thinking like that and you'll quickly see there's a lot of low hanging fruit.
