Uncontrollable spam
Loni 08:24, 8 Jul 2007 (EDT)
Lately the forest has been under 'spam-attack'. I have reverted all the spammed pages to their lkg (last-known-good) and have added page protection to the most commonly spammed pages. If I have reverted any legitimate changes, please let me know and accept my apologies in advance. If you would like to contribute to the forest on pages protect, please let me know so I can upgrade your privileges so you may edit protected pages. Sorry for any inconvenience...
Lucky number, anyone?

I would like to welcome a new user to the forest, Sol Tzvi. She is a seasoned security strategist, and has opened a new branch in the EducationTree in the area of Security Philosophy.

SecurityForest Blog (http://www.securityforest.com/blog)
Loni 08:55, 17 Jul 2005 (EDT)
I noticed that “blogging” has become quiet popular over the past couple of months, and have also seen that many members in securityforest have their own blogs scatered around the net.I thought it would be a nice extension to have in SecurityForest, so here it is.... The Blog (http://www.securityforest.com/blog) will replace the Security News section of the wiki, and the space will be used more productively in the future... Come and blog your heart out!
