Maybe it’s indelicate to celebrate the birthday of a cybercrime blog that mostly publishes bad news, but happily many of 2024’s most engrossing security stories were about bad things happening to bad guys.

In case you missed any of them, here’s a recap of 2024’s most-read stories. In January, KrebsOnSecurity told the story of a Canadian man who was falsely charged with…
Heidi Klum Steve Granitz/FilmMagic Heidi Klum is manifesting a lucky 2025 in any way that she can. “Do you have a tradition on New Year’s Eve?” Klum, 51, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, December 28. “For me … it’s red lace ❤️.

Major government contractors are pushing the costs of rising national insurance (NI) and higher wage bills back onto the Treasury, prompting concerns over the ultimate burden on taxpayers. Cleaning and facilities management groups such as Churchill Group and Mitie, together with construction giant Mace, are among those negotiating with Whitehall to pass on the financial impact of April’s employment-related tax increases. From next spring, employers’ NI contributions climb from 13.8% to 15% and the national living wage rises from £11.44 to £12.21 an hour. While private-sector providers with commercial clients face trimming their workforce or making other cost savings, leading…

Simon & Schuster/ Faber/ DoubledayFrom an intense tale of two brothers to a stunning Booker winner – the very best fiction of the year.Intermezzo by Sally RooneyLaunched late in the year to the feverish fan hoards was the fourth instalment in the so-called “Rooneyverse”. In a slight departure from the norm, Intermezzo’s protagonists are two men: Peter, 32, a talented but troubled barrister, and his 22-year-old chess-prodigy brother, Ivan, both working through grief and family tensions following their father’s recent death. Elsewhere, however, there were plenty of Rooney’s familiar beats to be enjoyed – tangled relationships, frequent sex, philosophical debates…
