“The vulnerability might be in the proof-of-concept”

This is a common pattern I see for reporters to open source projects, where the proof-of-concept itself contains the vulnerability, not the project.

Since we published our blog post on the future of Accrescent, donations have increased dramatically.

According to the rates in that post, we should now be able to fund full-time development through at least May 2026!

Thank you to our community for your monumental support!

Because of you, we can dedicate ourselves fully to our mission of building a modern Android app store focused on security, privacy, and usability.

***infosec specialists are needed in the resistance ***

The world needs tech security specialists to run workshops at public libraries for all ages & abilities to remove spyware, AI, reduce surveillance, understand the issues, & for more advanced, move to Linux, degooglefy, etc.

Libraries will pay good wages for these workshops.
If you have these skills, please consider offering them.

So…who hates those Google log-in pop-ups that are seemingly everywhere now? Wanna make them go away?

1. Get uBlock Origin (which you should have already been using):

github.com/gorhill/uBlock

2. Open the plugin and click the settings button.

3. Click on the “my filters” tab and paste this into the input:

||accounts.google.com/gsi/*$xhr,script,3p

That’s it! Worked flawlessly for me.

Why is security work unlike any other contribution to an open source project?

We need to re-think the tight association between maintainers and security work if we want sustainable open source security.
