A true chance to make CVE a true community program

This is something I always say ā€“ we have too little global, horizontal, community initiatives in cybersecurity. Lots of private and commercial initiatives, but fewer community ones.

The CVE program, run by MITRE, is running out of funding from the US government.
This event can be a trigger to change this. This is a golden opportunity for a change for good for the industry.

This is a chance to change it to be a global program, not only US controlled, funded by governments from around the world, plus core monetary support from the cybersecurity vendors and services giants who make billions of dollars out of cybersecurity and rely on CVE data.

WhatsApp group for information and cyber security news – Moved to a WhatsApp Channel

External Content, Management Announcements, News, PersonalEitan Caspi

Hello all,

Following my former post, from a few months ago, about opening a WhatsApp group for information and cyber security news and content, and following concerns from group members about the privacy issues coming with a WhatsApp group – I tried to find a method to both enhance the privacy of the members of this group, and also remove the limit of 1000 members that is inherited in a WhatsApp group ā€“ So eventually I decided to move this group to be a WhatsApp Channel, which doesn’t have any limit to the number of subscribers, and also if doesn’t display the subscribers’ name and phone number to other members or to the channel admin, which is me (unless I already have your phone number in my phone address book, which means I am already in some connection with you).

Read here more about the WhatsApp channel privacy attributes at the WhatsApp article of “About safety and privacy on channels“.
A channel is practically a “one to many” content feed, somewhat similar to an RSS Feed.

I looked into moving the messaging application of “Signal”, but a Signal group is also limited to 1000 members, plus “Signal” does not have a feature similar to a broadcast channel with subscribers, so it wasn’t a suitable option to move to.

As usual ā€“ you are invited to invite relevant people to join.

So, starting 27-Jan-25 I stopped publishing new content in the group, and started publishing at the channel (which does show historical/former published content, while a group does not), found in the following link – https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VazZmk5LNSa7uZvULT0n

I hope this change will be beneficial for all of us.

Stay safe and secure!
