And whether or not you scored an invite, there's a 🚢 load to look forward to. That's Rik Ferguson, our VP of Security Intelligence. He says to watch this space, and we're inclined to believe him.

Wael Mohamed liked thisAnother critical vulnerability. Another flood of IOCs. But are we actually getting smarter? The recent PHP vulnerabilities are a perfect example. Within hours, we see endless lists of scanning IPs, exploit attempts, and PoCs that don't even work and suddenly, everyone has threat intelligence. But are we tracking actual threats, or just collecting internet noise? Scanning doesn't equal exploitation. And an exploit attempt doesn't mean compromise. IOCs have their place, but without context and understanding attacker behavior, we're just playing whack-a-mole. The priority in this case remains simple: Patch! Network detection signatures are valuable, especially while patching, but they don't fix the vulnerability. So here's my question: Have we become too obsessed with sharing indicators instead of sharing intelligence? Curious how others see this. #ThreatIntelligence #CyberSecurity #VulnerabilityManagementWael Mohamed liked this🚨 On October 21, 2026, the #PHP project announced security releases for 2 critical vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-109618 can corrupt memory during out-of-memory (OOM) handling, while CVE-2026-109619 is a use-after-free flaw involving state retained between requests. Due to the extremely high deployment of PHP based web applications, exploitation in-the-wild is expected. More in our blog: https://lnkd.in/gQvhGUqG

Wael Mohamed liked thisWael Mohamed liked thisWhy is the Federal Reserve’s inflation objective 2 percent? Someone commented on my last post asking this question earlier this week. You may wonder – why doesn’t the Fed aim for zero inflation? Very low inflation runs the risk of slipping into deflation – where prices fall -- which is usually a symptom of a weak economy and can mean new challenges for businesses and consumers. If our objective stays low and stable – at 2 percent -- there’s room for monetary policy to stimulate the economy if conditions deteriorate. The 2 percent objective isn’t an arbitrary number. It’s a foundation for businesses, consumers, and investors – because if people know where inflation is supposed to go, they can make better financial decisions and plan for the future. Planning has been more difficult over the last five years since we’ve been missing our inflation objective. I am committed to getting us back there. These videos are a chance for me to explain Fed and economic topics and answer your questions. Be sure to let us know what Fed topics we should cover next in the comments below. ⬇️ And check out the topics we’ve already covered in our Ask Beth series: https://clefed.org/4h03qAD
