In this year of 2026 if you absolutely have to run your mobile, international event in America - and you choose to run it in Texas, Tennessee, or Florida, that is certainly a choice that reflects which of your members or employees you see as human.

Wired - Mysterious Fari language numbers shortwave transmissions traced to Panzer Kaserne, a US military installation in Böblingen, Germany. https://www.wired.com/story/a-mysterious-numbers-station-is-broadcasting-through-the-iran-war/

A Mysterious Numbers Station Is Broadcasting Through the Iran War

First heard as US and Israeli strikes on Iran began, the shortwave broadcast has since been traced to a US military base in Germany—but its purpose and its operator remain unclear.

It would be nice if AI vendors ( #OpenAI , #Anthropic, etc) provided refunds for all the mistakes they make.

Instead they drain your account as you try to fix their mistakes and then they ask for more money.

OWASP Ottawa Mar 20

OWASP Ottawa would like to extend its gratitude to @garthoid (a.k.a, Garth Boyd) for an insightful presentation on their topic, "We know what you hide in JS" at our March 2026 meetup!

The topic was well-presented and a goldmine for developers and cybersecurity professionals, explaining what can go wrong when applications depend on client-side controls for securing web applications, and how to detect the presence of such secrets or other interesting patterns in JavaScript code.

Thank you once again, Garth! 👏

If you missed this session, you can catch the recording of this session on our YouTube channel, along with recordings of other sessions from our awesome speakers!
