The Growing Toll of Cyberattacks
The growing toll of cyberattacks as of November 2026.
Landing Page Update
I don’t use Google Search as much these days.
More often, I find myself visiting websites through links from GitHub and elsewhere.
Along the way, I feel like I’ve been seeing more personal websites made with AI.
They tend to have a very artificial feel, and I realized my own site looked that way too, so I made a few changes.
It still has that AI feel, but I’ve pared it down to a simple landing page.
The Growing Toll of Cyberattacks
Maybe, a few years from now, we’ll look back on this moment as a turning point for the world.
That’s how much cyberattacks and the damage they cause have been growing.
It feels like hardly a day goes by without news of a data breach.
The critical PHP2shell vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, also took a number of websites offline.
Some sites I visit regularly, including online stores, were temporarily unavailable.
What stood out this time was that the prime minister called for action.
That reportedly led to sites taking action or shutting down much faster than ever before.
AI is also said to be a factor behind these incidents.
In this contest between spear and shield, I have a feeling that building defenses with AI could become the next buzzword.
But can we build an invincible shield?
