🏆 WE MADE TIME'S BEST INVENTIONS OF 2026! I'm incredibly proud to announce that Berkeley Varitronics Systems' WireBadger has been recognized by TIME Magazine as one of its Best Inventions of 2026 — Special Mentions! 🔌 Not all USB cables are what they appear to be. Some can secretly contain malicious electronics designed to compromise devices, steal data, or launch cyberattacks. That's why our team developed WireBadger — a BAD USB Cable Tester designed to help identify potentially malicious USB cables before they become a cybersecurity threat. This recognition is a tremendous honor for our entire team at Berkeley Varitronics Systems, where we continue to innovate and develop security solutions right here in the USA. 🇺🇸 A huge THANK YOU to TIME for recognizing our innovation, and congratulations to the entire BVS team for making this possible! 🔗 Read the TIME feature: time.com/collection/best-inv… #TIMEBestInventions #WireBadger #Cybersecurity #Innovation #BerkeleyVaritronicsSystems @TIME @BVSystems @HackedAgainBook

Will AI destroy humanity—or can we put effective safeguards in place before AI becomes too powerful to control? I recently joined CGTN Global Business to discuss the risks surrounding advanced AI, the need for enforceable guardrails, and why we shouldn’t panic, dismiss the risks, or stop innovation. Watch the interview: lnkd.in/eDJybZrH What concerns you most: AI misuse by people or humanity eventually losing control of AI? #ArtificialIntelligence #AISafety #AIRisks #FutureOfAI #AIRegulation #Cybersecurity #ResponsibleAI #ScottSchober #CGTN @BVSystems @HackedAgainBook @CGTNOfficial @cgtnamerica

Silk Road 2.0 emerged just weeks after the FBI shut down the original Silk Road. Its former operator, Blake Benthall, was later arrested—and today, he’s the founder and CEO of Fathom(x). In this episode of Cybercrime Radio, host Scott Schober talks with Blake about his time running Silk Road 2.0, his arrest, the lessons he learned, and his journey from the dark web to where he is today.
