hannoCompletely boring take on IT security in the age of AI-discovered security vulnerabilities: Everything in IT security that was a good idea before is still a good idea. When security updates are available, install them. Reduce attack surface, avoid unnecessary complexity. Don't reuse passwords.

Zack WhittakerNew, by me: Mounir Idrassi, the developer of the popular file encryption software Veracrypt, says Microsoft has locked his account used for sending software updates, and warned that Windows users who encrypt their PCs with his software may soon find it "impossible to boot," Idrassi tells me.

OWASP Germany Chapter 
Hello AppSec community!
Our preparations for German #OWASP Day 2026 (GOD) are in full swing. As some of you may have noticed, the website is already live (and kicking): https://god.owasp.de/
This year’s GOD will take place on September 24, 2026, in Karlsruhe. It's a one-day conference with two tracks. We will once again be offering community training sessions on the day before, i.e. the 23rd of September. That evening will -- as usual -- feature networking and professional discussions in a relaxed atmosphere with food and beverages.
We recently opened the call for community trainings. They were extremely well-received last year, and we’d like to build on that success this year.
So if you have a topic you’d like to present in a half-day session, check out the Call for Community Trainings (CfT): https://lnkd.in/edAnfmZ4 . It's planned to stay open until April 12, 2026. If you happen to know someone who's good explaining a relevant topic (see CfT) to a small group of people, feel free to forward the pointer to the CfT.
The Call for Presentations will open next week.
