🎉 Exciting news!
❤️ @SocketSecurity is partnering with the Ecosyste.ms project! Their work already helped us ship Python. Now we want to give back + support shared infrastructure for researchers/policymakers/devs to secure + sustain OSS.

I just donated $800 to cover 1 of 15 scholars!
We're raising $800 per each scholar here (tinyurl.com/wispdefcon2023), who is going to match my donation today??
Check out some stories from our prior @wisporg @defcon scholars here:

- ginnyfahs.medium.com/def-con…
Our @defcon scholarship has changed lives, with scholars finding their next job opportunity during their scholarship! If you personally have $800 to donate to cover 1 stipend, please do! If your company can donate to cover 1 scholar that’s awesome! Tinyurl.com/wispdefcon2023

🚨ATTENTION🚨
Apple found two 0-days actively in use that could effectively give attackers full access to device.
For most folks: update software by end of day
If threat model is elevated (journalist, activist, targeted by nation states, etc): update now techcrunch.com/2022/08/17/ip…
