The Netherlands is taking a major step forward in the world of cyber security. The country has recently announced that it will be adopting Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) to help protect its citizens from malicious actors on the internet. This move comes as part of an effort to increase trust and safety online, while also providing more transparency into how data is being used and shared.
RPKI is a system that uses digital certificates to authenticate routing information between networks, ensuring that traffic can only flow through authorized paths. It’s designed to prevent attackers from hijacking or manipulating network traffic by spoofing IP addresses or redirecting packets away from their intended destination. By implementing RPKI, the Netherlands hopes to reduce the risk of man-in-the-middle attacks and other forms of malicious activity on its networks.
In addition to RPKI adoption, news has surfaced about a backdoor found in WordPress websites running outdated versions of the popular content management system (CMS). Attackers have been exploiting this vulnerability for some time now, allowing them access to sensitive data stored within these sites without authorization. To combat this issue, WordPress developers are urging users to update their CMS installations immediately if they haven’t already done so in order to patch up any potential security holes before they can be exploited further.
Finally, investigators have made progress in tracing back who was responsible for leaking classified documents belonging to the Pentagon earlier this year. While no suspects have been identified yet, authorities believe they are getting closer every day thanks largely due diligence efforts conducted by both private sector companies and government agencies alike working together towards finding out who was behind this breach of national security information .
