🔮 Sneak Peak Saturday for 2025-10-11
Cyber criminal whack-a-mole
Friday provided a classic trope from the world of cybersecurity that plays out with dependable regularity: The triumphant law enforcement takedown, immediately followed by the defiant criminal taunt.
Early Friday morning, a story broke that had all the hallmarks of a major victory for the good guys. The FBI announced it had seized the domains for BreachForums, a data leak and extortion site.
A big win, right? A decisive blow against the cyber bad guys.
Well, about that… the story comes with a punchline, just hours later, delivered by the cyber bad guys themselves… and they claim operations are “unaffected.”
It’s that familiar tale: law enforcement scores a point, but the game goes on. This story isn’t just about one or more domain seizures; it’s about the frustrating, asymmetric cyclical nature of the fight against cyber criminals, conveniently packaged for a day when fewer people are paying close attention.

A quick message from Lida:
With 18 years building, marketing, and scaling products at startups, I work with founders and leaders stuck between where they are and where they need to be. I help you cut through the noise, make sharper decisions, and get your team executing with clarity instead of chaos.
Most founders mistake complexity for strategy. They keep adding when they should be subtracting. When I'm brought in, the team is usually doing a lot right, and the real issue is focus and direction. I diagnose what's actually going wrong across product, positioning, and execution, then reset direction and get everyone aligned around one clear path forward that will lead to growth.
A bit of what I've done: I was the first PM on a fintech product that hit 10,000+ users within months, built a national incubator that supported over $500M in startup funding, and led teams at 23 Design before it was acquired by frog (the design team behind Apple’s first products). I've spoken at Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn, etc.
