When someone registers for an online service or healthcare portal, logs into an eCommerce store, or uses a streaming platform, the first interaction usually involves identity and authentication. For businesses, this moment is critical because it connects security, customer experience, and trust.

The Digital Statute for Children and Adolescents (Digital Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente or Lei 15.211/2025) is a new law outlining age assurance (garantia de idade) requirements in Brazil. Also known as the Digital ECA, it was enacted in September 2025 and goes beyond self-attestation, applying to a wider range of online platforms that offer certain services. On March 17, 2026, the Digital ECA will become enforceable.

Shopify has officially deprecated Legacy Customer Accounts as of February 2026, marking a major shift in how customer authentication works across Shopify stores. It has also been confirmed that a final sunset date will be announced later in 2026, after which legacy templates will be locked from editing and eventually removed.

In 2022, Uber's systems were breached by an 18-year-old. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) was active, but the attackers flooded an employee's phone with push requests until they approved one, just to stop the annoyance. Authentication worked as designed, and the attacker got in. This is, in general terms, an MFA fatigue attack. Fast forward to Q1 2025. Rapid7 found that more than 56% of all compromises resulted from stolen credentials where no MFA was in place.

Hiring has never been easy. But in the last year, it’s taken on an entirely new level of complexity. Fake candidates have become one of the most urgent problems facing HR, talent, and InfoSec teams alike. Today’s recruiters are flooded with AI-generated resumes that are nearly impossible to distinguish from legitimate candidates. When fake candidates make it to interviews, the tactics escalate with deepfakes used to impersonate people and proxy stand-ins for technical assessments.

Most security teams cannot confidently answer a simple question: who has access to which cloud resources right now? Human identities and accounts now span across thousands of services, subscriptions, and SaaS platforms. The result is a vast, decentralized environment riddled with “unknown unknowns” that security teams cannot fully map, and that traditional security controls weren’t designed to address. Attackers count on these identity blind spots.

Migrating from Atlassian Data Center (DC) to Cloud is a strategic move for many organizations. While migration brings scalability, flexibility, and cost benefits, it also introduces challenges, especially around secure external access, data sharing, and business continuity. This is where Secure Share for Jira and Confluence becomes a powerful ally.

Broadly defined, web security threats are any malicious attempts to gain unauthorized access to a computer system, network, or data via the internet. These website security issues range from automated bot attacks to sophisticated social engineering. Essentially, any vulnerability in a web application or browser that a cybercriminal can exploit falls under this category. Understanding these web security threats is the first step toward building a resilient defence.
