From November 12, 2025, AGCOM reported that in line with art. 13-bis of the Caivano decree (dl123/2023) , 47 adult websites accessible from Italy would have to introduce an identity verification system to prevent access by minors. Age Verification on Adult Websites Begins November 12 in Italy This measure, anticipated for months, was heralded as a decisive step toward protecting young people online. However, one day after the deadline, the main adult portals are still freely accessible, without any additional verification. Visiting Pornhub, the world’s largest adult content hub, today, the site looks exactly the same: a home screen where the user

Only the flag changes, but the result is always the same. In 2017, WikiLeaks published Vault7 , a leak that exposed the CIA’s arsenal: toolkits for penetrating smartphones, smart TVs, and operating systems, command and control infrastructure, and frameworks for obfuscating code. Tools like Weeping Angel (which turned TVs into microphones), HIVE (C2 for hundreds of implants), and the Marble Framework (for masking and falsely attributing malware) demonstrated that offensive intelligence was common practice even for Western powers. Today, with the Knownsec leak, the same scenario is being repeated under a different banner: rather than judging who is “worse,” it’s confirmation that

Once upon a time, there was a town that had a Magical Forest. It was happy to have it, even a little proud. Which is why all the citizens willingly sacrificed a few small comforts to keep it safe and didn’t complain too much. And those who didn’t want to give up were kindly asked to leave. First by the neighbors, then by the authorities. This way, everyone could always count on the fact that the majority not only cared about the Magical Forest, but would always do their utmost to defend it. At all costs. However, some criminals decided to hoard

Starting Tuesday, November 12, 2025, new provisions from the Italian Communications Regulatory Authority (AGCOM) will come into force, requiring an age verification system for accessing pornographic websites. The measure, provided for by Resolution 96/25/CONS, implements the provisions of the so-called “Caivano decree,” approved in 2023 by Giorgia Meloni’s government to combat juvenile crime and protect minors from accessing prohibited content. What changes from November 12th Until now, to enter an adult site , you simply had to declare that you were at least 18 years old with a simple click on the home screen . This easily circumvented method allowed even minors

Member countries of the international monitoring group MSMT have concluded that North Korea is increasing its use of cybercrime and the remote work of its citizens abroad to circumvent international sanctions and support its nuclear and missile programs. A recent report, covering the years from January 2024 to September 2025, highlights this strategy. The report’s authors highlight that virtually all illegal activities are orchestrated by organizations that have already been subjected to punitive measures. Through shell companies and anonymous IT groups, these entities operate with the primary goal of financially supporting prohibited weapons programs. According to the authors of the paper, North

In 2025, the European Union wants full control over private chats. The “Chat Control” regulation (proposal COM(2022)209) claims to fight child pornography by scanning private messages on WhatsApp, Telegram, Gmail, and the like. Noble intention in theory. In practice, it means every single message you type online could be read and analyzed by automated systems, with very real and immediate consequences for everyone’s privacy. And since no system is unbreakable, it doesn’t take a genius to do the math on the risks. For the average user, the fallout is simple but serious: Meanwhile, the people who actually want to hide aren’t shy
