Tom joins the Blogsecurify team!

I am excited to announce that I am now part of the GNUCITIZEN Blogsecurify social media “tiger team”. I am officially a blogger for Blogsecurify and will be posting about security issues/vulnerabilities in social media applications. As you may already know, I have been doing a lot of research recently into Facebook privacy and security. Blogsecurify/GNUCITIZEN is the perfect outlet for the research I am doing as well as other projects I am about to work on. GNUCITIZEN has always been about cutting edge, progressive thinking security research and I am looking forward to working with others that have a passion for social media security.

Do you have a WordPress blog? If you do then you really need to check out the Blogsecurify tool. The Blogsecurify tool was basically formed from the wp-scanner project and was a joint effort between GNUCITIZEN and BlogSecurity.net. The tool is an online WordPress vulnerability scanner. It will scan your WordPress blog via a plugin that you activate on your end. It will then run a series of checks and let you know the results. I am under the assumption that this scanner will evolve with the ability to scan other types of blogging software and social media applications. If you are interested in helping out with research and/or blogging on Blogsecurify check out this post.

Stay tuned for my Facebook Privacy & Security Guide release and details on other social media security related projects I plan on working on through this site and now blogsecurify.
