Would be good if it was setup like the Bitcoin Discussion > Press section.
This way it could be looked at quickly so people could see if things are going to matter to them.

[2023-01-12] Cisco Warns of Critical Vulnerability in EoL Small Business Routers
[2023-01-11] Dell PowerEdge Server Security Update for AMD Server Vulnerabilities 

And the 1st few lines should have a brief description and links to the appropriate information.

This MIGHT get people to at least scan it to see if there is something about a product that they use.
Otherwise it really does stand a good chance of getting buried on page 7 never to be seen.

The entire board or just cybersecurity/privacy news kind of threads? I think a sub-board within the Cybersecurity and Privacy board for news, just like the press board within Bitcoin Discussion would be great!


I would actually go the other way that the main board was with things that people could quickly glance at to see if it matters to them and below that a more open discussion. There would probably be some topic that would stay more or less at the top, and I would worry that others that are important / relevant to some people would gut buried unless they were forced into the date / subject order.

Using what I posted above, a discussion about firewall security could go on for pages and pages with people discussing brands and settings and whatever. A big obvious your old Cisco router is now vulnerable may get a few more eyeballs on it.

Just my view. I also think that if people can give a quick glance for 'Cisco' or 'Asus' or whatever it might help.

But also lets be serious, as a group we still can't get not your keys not your coins pounded thought some peoples heads.

Ah. I don't know about the main board being restricted to a specific format like this. I think a sub-board would serve the same purpose well, while not restricting the main board to a certain format.

It's a yes from me. It would be nice to have a place to post about security/privacy topics (e.g. Tor, Tails, Qubes, Whonix, etc.) and help other members to improve their opsec and keep their BTC safe.

Right between B&H and Off-topic seems like a good spot:



Fits well! It's nice to be able to visualize it.

24 votes for to 1 vote against. I think it's a matter of when than if at this point.
