#pythonsecurity — Public Fediverse posts

Thanks to @eelcoa I learned today, that the Python Software Foundation ( @ThePSF ) rejected a $1.5 Million USD fund, because they demonstrated integrity by not bowing down to #Trump and instead stand by their mission statement "(...) to support and facilitate the growth of a diverse and international community (...)", something that the US Government is blackmailing companies and organisations around the world(!) to stop doing!

This is worth supporting, and with approximately over 8 Million estimated Python programmers around the globe[1], that $1.5 Million USD could be reached by all of us with ease by giving back.

Support them here: https://psfmember.org/civicrm/contribute/transact/?reset=1&id=2

Donate, spread the message, follow them on mastodon, and be part of showing big tech companies of how it is done right!

I had #ChatGPT write a #Python script to scan my machines for the infected packages mentioned in this @BleepingComputer article. I've tested it on my work laptop and that is it. Please feel free to test it out and let me know if it works.
