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 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!
