Please get the vaccine. You are important. You are loved. We need you here. I don't care about your politics. You can even call me a harpy bitch who is bad at infosec all day long. Please, just get the vaccine and stay alive.

Some ~professional news~ y'all: For the last few months, I've been working on creating a small company that will do low-cost trainings on public records and investigative techniques for local newsrooms, freelancers and students. And today, it's launching. thefriendlystatenews.com/

Pay attention to this one, there are multiple reports from reputable people that this is being exploited in the wild.
Mass exploitation of Atlassian Confluence CVE-2021-26084 is ongoing and expected to accelerate. Please patch immediately if you haven’t already— this cannot wait until after the weekend.
