The Weekly Door · a free weekly email from Cythentic
One real security story a week.
And the door it walked through.
Every issue: what happened to a real person, why it worked on them, and the one setting or habit that would have stopped it. Five minutes to read. One thing to do that night.
What is in every issue
Three short parts. Then you are done.
Written for the person who does not work in security and does not want to. No jargon, no fear for its own sake, no homework beyond the one thing.
01
The story
One thing that happened this week to someone like you: a parent, a retiree, a small business owner, a teenager. Told plainly, with only the parts that matter.
02
Why it worked
The trick underneath it, in one paragraph. Not the technology. The moment the person was busy, trusting, or rushed, and what the attacker needed them to believe.
03
The door to close
The single setting, freeze, or habit that would have stopped it, with the steps for your phone or computer. If it takes more than one setting, Remi will walk you through it.
Who writes it
Thirty years of protecting institutions. Now pointed at you.
Corey White is the founder of Cythentic and the author of the forthcoming book You’re Already a Target. He spent three decades building security programs for large organizations, and now spends his time on the people those programs never covered: families, teens, seniors, and people who run their own business.
One of these stories goes out every day as Quantum Corey. The Weekly Door is the one worth keeping, with the fix attached.
