Selected coverage
01 — BBC
Article
Cyber Security Research
BBC News coverage of cybersecurity research. The piece reflected the moment when independent researcher findings started reaching mainstream business audiences — a useful marker for how public discourse on cyber risk has matured since.
02 — The Register
Article
Zero-Day Discoveries
The Register's reporting on physically hacking SCADA systems. The article surfaced cyber-physical attack chains that most enterprise security teams were not yet treating as a meaningful threat model — and which have since become central to OT security programmes.
03 — The Telegraph
Article
Intel Chip Security Flaw
Expert commentary in The Telegraph on the Intel chip flaw (Meltdown / Spectre) and its real-world performance impact. This was an early example of a hardware-level vulnerability requiring board-level attention — a category that has only grown since.
04 — The Telegraph
Article
Meltdown & Spectre — Bitcoin Exchange Risks
Follow-up Telegraph piece on Meltdown / Spectre risks specific to crypto exchanges. The reporting connected speculative-execution side channels to high-value, low-defence environments — a still-relevant pattern when assessing where novel hardware exposures matter most.
05 — Channel Futures
Article
N-able Workgroup Guideline Security Risk
Channel Futures coverage of disclosure research on N-able guidelines exposing MSPs to risk. The piece illustrated how vendor defaults can quietly establish supply-chain risk for managed-service providers and their downstream clients.
06 — Barron's
Article
Apple iPhone Privacy Flaw
Barron's coverage of the iPhone privacy flaw and Apple's content-scanning plans. The reporting captured the inflection point where on-device scanning architectures became a public-policy issue rather than a niche security debate.
07 — Datamation
Article
Vulnerability Scanning Best Practices
Datamation feature on vulnerability-scanning best practices. The article tackled the gap between programmatic scanning output and the operational decisions that actually reduce exposure — a recurring theme across enterprise security programmes.
08 — Lifewire
Article
Drone Wi-Fi Vulnerability
Lifewire reporting on drone-borne Wi-Fi vulnerability research. The piece sat at the intersection of cyber-physical research and consumer-facing technology — useful in showing how lab-grade attacks translate into real exposure for households and small businesses.
09 — Lifewire
Article
Password Manager Security
Lifewire commentary on password-manager security. The article explored the trade-offs users implicitly accept when choosing a manager — and the questions security-mature buyers should be asking before standardising one across an organisation.
10 — Lifewire
Article
AI Crime Prediction Concerns
Lifewire feature on AI crime-prediction systems and the false-positive risk to real people. The piece is an early example of consumer-facing journalism on the failure modes of AI-in-government — a category that has scaled significantly since.
11 — The Cybersecurity Review
Article
Top Penetration Testing Provider 2025
The Cybersecurity Review APAC profile of Atumcell as a top penetration-testing provider for 2025. Useful as a third-party validation of the firm's positioning in industrial and OT-aware security testing.

Article
MoveIt Transfer & Zoho Desk Flaws
Channel Futures coverage of Atumcell's discovery of vulnerabilities in MoveIt Transfer and Zoho Desk. Demonstrates the firm's capability to surface high-impact issues in widely deployed enterprise software — and the disclosure path that follows.
