A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Not that unusual, unfortunately. The infosec community relies on researchers publishing PoC exploits in order for people to determine whether they're affected or not by a given vulnerability, but that trust in PoCs can obviously be exploited.
Not everyone has the time or knowledge to develop their own PoCs, but you should definitely not use one if you can't understand the PoC, which is unfortunately rather common.
