What happened
The document is a collection of Bruce Schneier blog posts (Feb 2026) covering multiple security topics: Iran’s January 2026 nationwide, unusually severe internet blackout and the risks of a two‑tiered (domestic intranet vs global Internet) architecture; a novel phishing campaign where North Korean actors pose as recruiters and embed malware in developer coding challenges; research showing that some password managers (e.g., Bitwarden, Dashlane, LastPass) can be abused via account‑recovery/group‑sharing/server‑side control to access or weaken vault encryption; weaknesses in LLMs for password‑gen
