Threat protection made simpler – Nordstellar first impressions

Mon, 03/31/2025 - 6:00am

My company decided to add Nordstellar to our cybersecurity deck. There are quite a lot of us working in this specific field, but we were especially interested in how NordStellar would help us in everyday life. We have quite a large amount of data traffic that needs constant monitoring, so it made sense to get some automation in place.

Basically, NordStellar offers advanced encryption and real-time threat monitoring to secure sensitive information both in the cloud and accessed on-site. We got it for threat exposure management so that we could see real-time data and insights that we could solve ourselves. This monitoring allowed us to know about any potential threats and data leaks happening at the moment and come up with solutions more efficiently, instead of checking everything manually.

NordStellar worked for us because of the multi-layered security approach, which combines several defense mechanisms to protect against everything from malware to phishing attacks. During a couple of months of using it, we noticed a credential leak in a dark web forum. Thanks to the automated alert, we were able to act immediately, securing the exposed accounts before any damage occurred. If you have any data that could potentially end up in the deep and dark web, like forums, cybercrime telegram channels, ransomware blogs, or hacking manuals, it catches the data in time so you can manage it.

Also something neat – they provide automated asset discovery to map your infrastructure like web servers, applications, domains, etc.), and then you get notified about the vulnerabilities. So in one product, you get data leak management, dark web monitoring, attack surface management, and domain squatting covered.

Shortly, our department appreciated the integration so far, it’s easy to work with, and it did make our work a lot more efficient.

Maybe anyone else has tried out tools for threat protection, or NordStellar? Any reviews?

Show HN: WhatsApp MCP Server

Mon, 03/31/2025 - 5:32am

Hi HN – I built an open-source, self-hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for WhatsApp: https://github.com/lharries/whatsapp-mcp

It connects to your personal WhatsApp account via the WhatsApp Web multi-device API (using whatsmeow from the Beeper team), and doesn't rely on third-party APIs. All messages are stored locally in SQLite. Nothing is sent to the cloud unless you explicitly allow your LLM to access the data via tools – so you maintain full control and privacy.

The MCP server can: - Search your messages, contacts, and groups - Send WhatsApp messages to individuals or groups

Why build this?

99% of your life is stored in WhatsApp, by connecting an LLM to WhatsApp you get all this context. And your AI agent can execute tasks on your behalf by sending messages.
