Keep in mind that most security features need client-side support and external scanning covers only a small fraction of web server security:

An opinion on the future of OMEMO:

http://blogs.fsfe.org/vanitasvitae/2018/09/07/future-of-omemo/

– some users/developers consider forward secrecy needless
– OMEMO's trust management sucks
– OMEMO only protects the message body
– OMEMO isn't a standard and further development came to a standstill
– Messaging Layer Security (MLS) is an upcoming attempt to create a new encryption standard

A breakthrough in the right to repair movement sees it to be legal for people to #hack and bypass #DRM protecting firmware. Big win I'd say #infosec #security #privacy https://gizmodo.com/its-now-legal-to-hack-drm-to-repair-your-own-devices-1830002757/amp

Nice study for everyone who thinks that open platforms are a #security risk. Exactly zero malware found in #FDroid, the independent #FreeSoftware repository / #appstore for #Android https://nsl.cs.waseda.ac.jp/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/submitted_wama2017.pdf
