  Shiny Hunters: One Name Behind a Dozen Mega-Breaches

  Aug 18, 202615 min

  Salesforce, Google, Okta, Louis Vuitton, Allianz, Odido: all breached under the same name. Shiny Hunters may not even be one group. It is a brand that different criminal crews borrow to extort their victims, because the reputation does half the work. The uncomfortable part is how simple it is. No fancy malware, no zero-days. Almost every documented breach started with a phishing call to the help desk, over-permissive credentials, and data copied straight out of a SaaS platform. Host Lieuwe Jan Koning, Co-founder & CTO at ON2IT, sits down with Field CTO Rob Maas and ON2IT researcher Yuri Witt to trace how these attacks land, why the attacker's name never matters to your defense, and the basic controls that stop them: multi-factor authentication, IP access control on your SaaS tenants, no over-permissive accounts, and deleting the toxic data you no longer need. If you run SaaS at scale, treat this as a checklist for the controls most teams still have not switched on. Charpters: 00:00:00 One name behind a dozen mega-breaches 00:01:06 Shiny Hunters: a group, or a brand? 00:04:16 The leak site: extortion as a marketplace 00:05:37 How they get in: phishing the help desk 00:07:54 Basic defenses: MFA, no admin rights, block downloads 00:09:36 Pay up or we leak: the Odido case 00:11:24 Lock down SaaS, delete toxic data, and Zero Trust

  The Hacker Who'll Hit You in 5 Years Is in School

  Aug 4, 202623 min

  The hacker who will attack your organization in five years is in primary school right now, and nobody is teaching them anything. Tim Murck, Co-founder & Chief Product Officer at HackShield, joins Lieuwe Jan Koning, Co-founder & CTO at ON2IT, to explain how a game turns kids aged 7 to 12 into junior cyber agents instead of future attackers. The method is not fear. It is teaching kids to ask one question: how are they going to trick me?

  JADEPUFFER: The AI Malware With No Human in the loop

  Jul 28, 202622 min

  What if AI stopped being the assistant to cybercriminals and became the attacker itself? That's no longer hypothetical. JADEPUFFER is the first documented case of ransomware run entirely by an AI agent: it broke into a production database, hit a wall mid-attack, then found another way in within 31 seconds, faster than most human penetration testers can react. Rob Maas, Field CTO at ON2IT, sits down with Yuri Wit, SOC DevOps Engineer at ON2IT, to trace how agentic malware evolved out of AI-assisted attacks into a threat that plans, executes, and pivots entirely on its own.

  Four Firewall Mistakes Still Wrecking Networks in 2026

  Jul 21, 202614 min

  Three out of four firewall rule sets ON2IT’s SOC inherits from new customers share the same blind spots, and none of the fixes cost extra licensing. In this episode, Lieuwe Jan Koning, Co-founder & CTO at ON2IT, sits down with Jelle Konings, security optimization specialist in ON2IT’s Security Operations Center, to walk through the mistakes his team finds on almost every inherited network: no logging enabled, no identity tied to traffic, no default deny rule at the bottom of the rule base, and port-based rules standing in for real application control. Most environments he inherits sit around 30 to 40 percent application-based policy coverage against a 60 to 80 percent target. You will hear what to check first when you inherit a firewall, how long a realistic clean-up takes (weeks, months, sometimes over a year), and why an encrypted VPN tunnel riding on port 443 can move data out the door without a single alert firing.
