The board won’t fund cyber brilliance.
They fund what they understand.

Because when security works, nothing happens. When it fails, you make headlines.
Security should be boring. But leadership needs to know the value...

Friends, colleagues, like-minded people. This message is more than just an announcement. It's the outcome of long reflection and an evolution of views that I want to share with you, with those who make up our community.

Since 2018, this channel has been more than just a platform for me. We've grown together from the first few hundred subscribers to 17k, and during that time, a lot has appeared here: my original articles, useful links, books, courses, repositories, job market reports, analysis on relocation and salaries. This included "leaks" / pirated copies of books, paid courses, and software. My reasoning back then was simple: I was once a student myself with no money and limited access to knowledge, and I wanted to help others in a similar situation — to give people a chance to study, enter the industry, and earn a living. I went through that journey as a student from a town where it was hard to even get physical books, and I understood the value of having access to knowledge "here and now." My motives then were help, sharing, and the idea that information should be free in the sense of being accessible.

Today, my views have changed. I've come to think differently about ideas of scarcity and abundance, about respect for others' work, and about how knowledge is created. From my own experience writing brochures and a book, I know how much effort goes into it from the author, editor, layout designer, and publisher. Piracy, even with "good intentions," ultimately doesn't help authors or the industry: it's rooted in a mindset of lack, in the habit of taking others' work for free and considering that normal. I am increasingly convinced that work should be paid for, and that a legal purchase is a real contribution to the development of a product, course, or book. By respecting others' work, we respect our own (after all, you also work, create something, and of course want to be paid fairly for your labor). Buying a licensed copy isn't just a transaction; it's a signal to the author: "Your work is valuable, keep going." It's what gives projects a longer life, stimulates the creation of new courses, updates to books, and the development of tools.

Therefore, starting some time this year, pirated materials have stopped appearing on the channel: books, paid courses, software, leaks, and any other content that violates copyright. Only legal resources will remain here: officially free books and brochures, open reports, articles, repositories, and materials that rights holders themselves permit to be freely distributed. Everything that was ever posted here, I used and offered to you precisely as a tool for self-education, skill improvement, and growing expertise — to later convert that knowledge into decent work and legal income — but from now on, I want to move forward in a different, more honest and transparent format.

I still believe knowledge should be accessible. But "accessible" doesn't mean "stolen / obtained for free." By disrespecting others' work, we essentially agree that our own work can also be disrespected and unpaid. I no longer want to support that logic, either for myself or for this community.

I don't condemn my past, and I understand this content won't disappear from the internet. But my personal path and my responsibility now lie on a different plane. I no longer want to be a conduit for that model. This isn't about trying to become an "angel." It's about growing up. It's about building an industry where work is valued and quality knowledge is fairly rewarded.

If this approach resonates with you — stay. If not — that's okay too: everyone chooses their own path. In any case, thank you to everyone who has been with me all these years, learning, sharing, debating, and growing together with the channel.

I am endlessly grateful for your trust and for our growth to 17,000 readers. This channel has been our shared space for learning. Now I invite you into the next phase — a phase of more conscious and respectful consumption of content.

🔐 CIA vs DAD in Cybersecurity — The Battle of Intentions 🔥

In cybersecurity, motivation matters — and so do acronyms.

We often talk about the CIA Triad:
✅ Confidentiality – Keep data secret
✅ Integrity – Keep data accurate
✅ Availability – Keep systems running

It’s the backbone of every security programme. It’s what defenders strive to protect every single day.

But on the other side?
Attackers have their own model — DAD:
❌ Disclosure – Expose your data
❌ Alteration – Manipulate your information
❌ Denial – Disrupt your access

It’s literally the inverse of CIA — the attacker’s playbook.

👉 CIA = Protect
👉 DAD = Destroy

Understanding both sides helps us build stronger, smarter, more resilient security controls.
