Thoughts, research, and insights on technology.
From Yahoo to Change Healthcare, the last decade of cybersecurity breaches shares one common thread: stolen credentials. After 10+ billion compromised accounts, it's time to ask — what if authentication didn't require storing anything at all?
In May 2021, a single compromised VPN password led to the largest fuel pipeline shutdown in U.S. history. DarkSide ransomware demanded $4.4 million. KAVI Protocol would have made this attack structurally impossible.
The largest data breach in history exposed every single Yahoo account — 3 billion credentials. Bcrypt couldn't save them. KAVI's zero-storage model means there's nothing to breach.
In 2022, LastPass — trusted by 33 million users to protect their passwords — was breached. Encrypted vaults were stolen. The guardian of secrets became the single point of failure.
In 2017, Equifax exposed the Social Security numbers of 147 million Americans. The breach lasted 78 days before detection. KAVI's continuous authentication would have caught the intrusion in seconds.
In February 2024, Change Healthcare was breached using stolen credentials on a system with no MFA. One-third of all Americans' health data was exposed. KAVI requires no MFA — identity IS the authentication.
Russian intelligence compromised SolarWinds' build system, embedding malware in software updates sent to 18,000 organizations including the U.S. Treasury and Pentagon. KAVI's behavioral verification detects anomalous system access.
Attackers used previously breached passwords to access 14,000 23andMe accounts, then exploited the DNA Relatives feature to steal genetic data of 6.9 million users. Behavioral authentication stops credential stuffing at the door.
T-Mobile has been breached at least 8 times since 2018, exposing data of nearly 100 million customers. Each time: stolen credentials, poor access controls. The pattern proves the paradigm is broken.
In 2024, a single campaign of stolen credentials breached 165 Snowflake customer environments — including Ticketmaster (560M records) and AT&T (110M records). No MFA. Same old story.
Attackers lurked inside Starwood's network for 4 years — through an entire corporate acquisition — exfiltrating 500 million guest records. KAVI's continuous authentication catches intruders in real-time.
In 2024, a background check company leaked 2.9 billion records including Social Security numbers of virtually every American. When the data broker is the breach, the entire identity model collapses.
AI agents don't just write code — they review it. Autonomous code review catches bugs, security flaws, and design issues that human reviewers miss. Here's how it works.
The single most important capability that turned language models into agents wasn't better reasoning — it was tool use. Here's the technical story of how function calling changed everything.
AI agents aren't just writing code — they're defending networks. How autonomous security agents are transforming threat detection, incident response, and vulnerability management.
Traditional RAG retrieves documents and stuffs them into context. Agentic RAG plans queries, evaluates results, and iterates until it finds the right answer.
Building a demo agent is easy. Shipping one that handles edge cases, recovers from failures, and earns user trust is hard. Here are the lessons learned.
Not all AI agents are created equal. A practical comparison of Claude, GPT-4, and Gemini on real software engineering tasks — coding, debugging, and system design.
Single agents are powerful. Teams of specialized agents working together are transformative. Here's how multi-agent architectures are reshaping complex problem-solving.
The shift from AI-as-tool to AI-as-agent represents the biggest paradigm change since the internet. Here's how we got here and where it's heading.
Meta's OpenClaw brings transformer-based robotic manipulation to the open-source community. Here's what it means for the future of embodied AI agents.
AI agents are no longer science fiction. From code generation to autonomous debugging, 2025 marks the year AI agents moved from research labs to production systems.
