DDoS Attacks Cresting Amid Pandemic

Attacks were way up year-over-year in the second quarter as people continue to work from home.

Threatpost - English - Global - threatpost.com

So I'm like a security guy now, submitting CVE metadata fixes to NIST NVD for problems discovered by #repology (thanks to NVD people for being responsive btw). Also I'm now monitoring new CVEs stream to find missing CPE bindings and make sure all new CVEs are reported by Repology as vulnerable package versions. Recent #NXNSATTACK CVEs are, for instance.

This is cool. I feel that the project is uniting more parts of #foss ecosystem.
