Security Intelligence
💡 BGP Hijacking and IP Spoofing
Border Gateway Protocol hijacking allows attackers to redirect internet traffic through their infrastructure. While less common than application-level attacks, BGP hijacks can intercept sensitive data, inject malware, or cause widespread service disruption.
💡 Responsible Disclosure Ethics
Responsible disclosure balances public safety with giving vendors time to patch vulnerabilities. The security community generally supports coordinated disclosure timelines, but disagreements about appropriate timeframes and full disclosure continue to drive policy debates.
