- [Why Are Domain Renewal Fees So High? (And How to Pay Less)](https://www.cyberkendra.com/2026/09/why-are-domain-renewal-fees-so-high-and-how-to-pay-less.html): Domain names look cheap at first. Then the renewal email shows up and ruins the mood. That shock isn't an accident. Registrars often sell the first year at a discount, then charge more later because the domain now matters. A site, store, or email setup may depend on it. That changes the psychology fast. The low opening price gets attention. The renewal collects profit. Registry wholesale costs matter too, though registrar markups, support costs, and add-ons often push the final bill much higher than buyers expect.

The ad is not overlaying anything on your screen, and it is not changing your brightness setting — your display is pushing those specific pixels past normal SDR white because the ad creative carries high dynamic range data and the rest of your feed does not.

- [Researchers Buy ‘No Reply’ Domains and Get Company Data](https://www.cyberkendra.com/2026/08/researchers-buy-no-reply-domains-and.html): Fifteen dollars is roughly what it costs to start reading email your company thinks nobody receives. Two security researchers who quietly bought placeholder domains — the ones enterprise systems fall back on when an address is retired or an alert needs a fake sender — have collected hundreds of thousands of misdirected corporate messages, and their own scanning suggests hundreds of similar domains are already sitting on live inboxes.
- [Metabase Zero-Day Exposes Framework, Tally Customer Data](https://www.cyberkendra.com/2026/08/metabase-zero-day-exposes-framework.html): Two companies told customers this week that their personal data had been stolen.

Starting January 2027, the "Send as" option that lets you fire off a message from a Yahoo, Outlook, or custom-domain address without leaving your Gmail inbox will stop working — on the web and in the Android and iPhone apps alike.
- [Human Reviewer Caught AI Agent’s Malware Pull Request](https://www.cyberkendra.com/2026/08/human-reviewer-caught-ai-agents-malware.html): The thing that stopped an AI agent from poisoning a public open-source project last month wasn't a firewall, a classifier, or a sandbox. It was one suspicious developer who decided to detonate a strange script in a throwaway container before trusting it.
- [Phishers Abuse Service Workers to Hijack Microsoft Logins](https://www.cyberkendra.com/2026/08/phishers-abuse-service-workers-to.html): A phishing campaign documented by Kaspersky turns an ordinary browser feature into a credential-stealing proxy, letting attackers walk away with Microsoft 365 session tokens even after the victim clears multi-factor authentication.
- [Cloudflare Gives AI Agents a Wallet and a Spending Cap](https://www.cyberkendra.com/2026/08/cloudflare-gives-ai-agents-wallet-and.html): Cloudflare has started handing out wallet handles to its customers, and the pitch sounds like a convenience feature: let your AI agent buy the API it needs without pinging you for a credit card. Read the fine print, though, and the more interesting product is the ceiling. 
- [cPanel Bug Hands Database Root to Any Hosting Customer](https://www.cyberkendra.com/2026/08/cpanel-bug-hands-database-root-to-any.html): For three months, the cPanel security story has been about attackers forcing the front door. The vendor's newest release flips that script: this time, the person holding the keys is a paying customer on the same box as everyone else.
- [npm Worm Hits keyv and cacheable, Spreads to 400 Packages](https://www.cyberkendra.com/2026/08/npm-worm-hits-keyv-and-cacheable.html): A self-propagating worm tore through the npm registry on Tuesday morning, trojanizing the widely used keyv and cacheable caching libraries and spreading to more than 400 packages within hours. Wiz Research, Socket, and Microsoft Threat Intelligence are all tracking the campaign, which is still live at the time of writing.

Ask a security engineer the same question, and you get a different one: how do you know any of that data is real?
- [Which Zero-Trust Steps Harden Low-Code Deployments?](https://www.cyberkendra.com/2026/08/which-zero-trust-steps-harden-low-code.html): Low-code and no-code platforms have moved from experimental side projects to core business tools. Marketing teams build customer portals, finance departments automate approvals, and operations staff assemble dashboards without waiting for traditional development cycles. This speed carries a hidden cost, since every rapidly built application widens the attack surface. 
- [Coldcard Sweeps Hit $89M as Attacker Rewrites Playbook](https://www.cyberkendra.com/2026/08/coldcard-sweeps-hit-89m-as-attacker.html): A third wave of thefts against Bitcoin wallets built on flawed Coldcard firmware ran through Saturday morning, lifting observed losses to roughly 1,367 BTC — close to $89 million — drained from 4,585 addresses since Thursday.
