Hybridization
The idea of the "private" and "industry shared/private" blockchains is, ironically, paradoxical to the underlying idea/theory of blockchain -- in that the technology, being inherently "trustless," is theoretically more trustworthy because it relies on algorithms and distributed computing instead of a centralized authority who can potentially manipulate (or, for that matter, be used to manipulate should the centralized authority become breached/compromised).  And, yet, compliance and other "best-practice" dictates require (or, at least, are interpreted to require) that centralized authority be in charge.

Obviously, something is better than nothing, so it would seem.  But it's a bit funny how these hybrid blockchains have evolved and come to be.

circle of trust
This may be one of the most important aspect of blockchain. Trust relationship between users and banks also users and users.

Agree. For the fact that encryption strategies have their own flaws.

Digital identity
 

Ultimate goal of Digital identity should be identifying a person by staying anonymous. A challenge we need to achieve.

Re: Security failed
Probably it depends on how you use the internet and what virtual identity you get. Not everything is so transparent as you'd expect.

I think the idea of internet or online security is fake. Better say a huge lie. There is always someone who follows every step and any click you do.

Everything You Need to Know About DNS Attacks
It's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask. Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted. Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic
