🎙️✨ New Episode!
A Brand Story from the Road to #RSAC 2025 — Featuring Akamai Technologies

Every year, as we get ready for RSA Conference, we fire up the engine and the mics—not just to cover the #tech, but to capture the #business, the strategy, and most importantly, the human side of #cybersecurity.

Our latest Brand Story does just that.

In this pre-conference conversation, we sit down with Rupesh Chokshi, SVP & GM of Application Security at #Akamai, to talk about the shifting cybersecurity landscape as we move deeper into the #AI era. From #APIattacks and #LLM scraping to hybrid infrastructures and #zerotrust environments, it’s clear that security is no longer just a barrier—it’s a business enabler.

And Akamai is right at the center of that transformation.

We explore what it means to build real #cyberresilience, how organizations can rethink their security strategy in an AI-driven world, and why this year’s #RSAC2025 Conference is set to be a defining moment for both innovation and trust.

🫶 A special thank you to Akamai for sponsoring our RSAC 2025 coverage and continuing to support conversations that matter.

#Akamai sieht vom #Cloudflare Resolver 313 verschiedene IPv4 Adressen.

whoami.ipv6.akahelp.net sieht 315 verschiedene IPv6 Adressen

Lasse ich es über 9.9.9.9 auflösen, sind es bislang 63 (IPv4) vs. 64 (IPv6) Adressen.

@Marcel_Gehlen dann wollen wir, Deinen Hinweis einen groesseren Kreis kundtun. Wie das so geht, kennst Du sicher.

Macht den #eXit und den #UnplugTrump , d.h. u.a. verlasst die #usServer der #TechMillardaere , wie z.B. #AWS , #apple #icloud , #MicroSoft #azure , #akamai , #googleCloud . Es gibt viele gute #europeanAlternatives und einige bedenkliche #euServer wie solche die AfD-Inhalte hosten : #hetzner wurde da genannt. Wer dort ist, sollte vielleicht mal nachdenken und -fragen.

PoisonSeed Campaign Targets CRM and Bulk Email Providers in Supply Chain Spam Operation

A new threat group, dubbed PoisonSeed, is targeting enterprise organizations and individuals outside the cryptocurrency industry. The campaign focuses on phishing CRM and bulk email providers' credentials to export email lists and send bulk spam. The attackers use a cryptocurrency seed phrase poisoning attack, providing security seed phrases to trick victims into compromising their wallets. Similarities have been detected between PoisonSeed, Scattered Spider, and CryptoChameleon, but the campaign is being classified separately due to unique characteristics. The attackers have set up phishing pages for prominent CRM and bulk email companies, including Mailchimp, SendGrid, Hubspot, Mailgun, and Zoho. Once credentials are phished, the process of bulk downloading email lists appears to be automated. The campaign also involves spam sent from compromised accounts, including a notable breach of an Akamai SendGrid account.

After precisely two decades and $5,921.66 spent, I’ve finally parted ways with Linode. Unfortunately, Akamai’s management shows little understanding of what made the service valuable.

git.kernel.org 與 lore.kernel.org 改由 Akamai 資助

在「A new home for kernel.org」這邊看到的，不過標題其實不太精確，comment 有人提到只有 git.kernel.org (git) 與 lore.kernel.org (mailing) 搬過去。 Akamai 有為此發新聞稿：「Akamai Delivers Infrastructure Support to Ensure Uninterrupted Linux Kernel Development」。 其他幾個還是在不同的地方，像是 www.kernel.org 指到 Fastly 上： ;; ANSWER SECTION: www.kernel.org. 60 IN CNAME dualstack.m.sni.global.fastly.net. cdn. …

Akamai announced a multi-year partnership with the Linux Kernel Organization to provide critical infrastructure support for the development & distribution of the Linux kernel, ensuring uninterrupted access for its global developer network.

Jetzt nutzen sie schon #Akamai und dann schaut's trotzdem so aus bzw. muss andauernd nachladen/-puffern weil's irgendwie viel zu träge fließt.

Wenn man für das Geld nen paar fähige Menschen einstellt und den Kram selbst hosted und deployed, würde es für weniger bestimmt besser laufen. 🙄

Of course, there are other ways to configure sensitive values but I don't think it's necessarily obvious or front of mind when updating config and I honestly can't see (as someone who configures multiple services on Akamai regularly) why this feature is needed.
Unsure if it can be disabled or auth'd but I don't see any way to do that.
There are some docs which cover it a little bit: https://techdocs.akamai.com/download-delivery/docs/test-your-dd-property#4-install-an-extension.
Just though it might not be common knowledge.

Akamai has what I personally think is a seriously risky mechanism for debugging HTTP requests/responses. You can send an HTTP request header of `pragma: akamai-x-get-extracted-values` for a URL served via Akamai & it'll return `x-akamai-session-info` response headers which include user-defined config variables - that's where the main risk is IMO. People may well not realise this feature exists & use the vars for sensitive info e.g. backend auth keys.
