I just published a writeup of yet another actively exploited vulnerability in Zimbra - patch your ZCS (or burn it down) ASAP!

I marvel at the new ways people figure out to scam and defraud each other.
Do you know a simple signature in Metamask can drain your wallet?
A very experienced user (top 10 by Degen Score) lost almost 500k USDC in an exploit today.

A fantastic image of USAF pilot Chris Striklin ejecting from his F-16 aircraft at an altitude of just 140 feet. The pilot (of the 'Thunderbirds' 2003 aerobatic team) survived, but his F-16 was not so lucky. Thankfully it crashed in an empty area of the display ground.
