#XSF Announcement

Recently there was an incident via a so called #man_in_the_middle attack happened to an #XMPP #server.

To reduce the risk of such attacks in the future an early stage service called CertWatch has been published by our Community: certwatch.xmpp.net/

Many thanks to Stephen P. Weber (@singpolyma)!

@xmpp @singpolyma An alternative form of MitM is Manipulator-in-the-middle.

I prefer it as it is (1) more accurate and (2) less focused on a gender („man“ being ambiguous in English here).
