Subverting code integrity checks to locally backdoor Signal, 1Password, Slack, and more

A fresh CVE (2025-55305) just put Electron apps in the hot seat. The bug? Chromium-based apps fail to treatV8 heap snapshot filesas potential attack vectors. That crack lets unsigned JavaScript slip past code signing and run inside heavyweight targets like Slack, 1Password, and Signal. The heart of..

Kubernetes right-sizing with metrics-driven GitOps automation

AWS just dropped a GitOps-native pattern for tuning EKS resources—built to runoutsidethe cluster. It’s wired up withAmazon Managed Service for Prometheus,Argo CD, andBedrockto automate resource recommendations straight into Git. Here’s the play: it maps usage metrics to templated manifests, then sp..

Rethinking Efficiency for Cloud-Native AI Workloads

AI isn’t just burning compute—it's torching old-school FinOps. Reserved Instances? Idle detection? Cute, but not built for GPU bottlenecks and model-heavy pipelines. What’s actually happening:Infra teams are ditching cost-first playbooks for something smarter—business-aligned orchestrationthat chas..

Kubernetes VPA: Limitations, Best Practices, and the Future of Pod Rightsizing

Kubernetes'Vertical Pod Autoscaler (VPA)tries to be helpful by tweaking CPU and memory requests on the fly. Problem is, it needs to bounce your pods to do it. And if you're also runningHorizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA)on the same metrics? Now they're fighting over control. VPA sees a narrow slice of ..

Kubernetes DNS Exploit Enables Git Credential Theft from ArgoCD

A new attack chain messes withKubernetes DNS resolutionandArgoCD’s certificate injectionto swipe GitHub credentials. With the right permissions, a user inside the cluster can reroute GitOps traffic to a fake internal service, sniff auth headers, and quietly walk off with tokens. What’s broken:GitOp..
