I will be presenting "Our Vulnerable Networks" at #Sikkerhetsfestivalen 2026, talking BGP & RPKI history, status & "how to get it done".

Through history back to 1989 (BGP), L0pht testifying for congress in 1998 and lots more, I will explain the problem, the gaps, current status and what we need to do to fix a global internet routing security issue that is exploited many times daily.

Thanks to @internet_nl & @ripencc for their tools & knowledge, and the @cloudflare routing radar!

Data Protection Agencies (DPA) should have good security, right?

But they don't, and that's not just my personal opinion, but the result of scanning almost 160 DPAs around the world using the excellent free service of Dutch Internet Standards Platform (Internet.nl), checking their web, dns and email security.

Det går bedre med epost sikkerheten for norske advokatselskaper, men det er alltid rom for forbedringer!

Her en liten statusoppdatering pr februar 2026:
