Finally a cybersecurity newsletter I actually read. The Hack of the Week alone has saved me hours of research every month. Set up a hardware security key in 8 minutes because of issue #31.

I forwarded the BEC attack issue to my entire team. We implemented DMARC that same week. Two months later our IT vendor said it would have blocked a real attack attempt.

I'm a security engineer and I still read this every issue. The curation is excellent and it helps me explain threats to non-technical stakeholders without translating everything myself.
