  • Revisiting and inspecting July's Patch Tuesday.
  • A widespread and worrisome flaw in OpenSSL.
  • Claude can now access your 1Password credentials.
  • Bitwarden is aware that we need whole new security.
  • The day ends in "y" so a new prompt injection attack.
  • A true (and rare) core Wordpress emergency update.
