Missouri is now asking people to "submit a complaint or concern about gender transition intervention you have experienced or observed in Missouri."

Log4shell was used in 16% of investigations, presenting nearly half of all exploits in real world security incidents. Yes, years later, orgs still haven't updated Log4j - I know the industry thinks I overhyped Log4shell, but... well... look at the data.
