#IOCX is undergoing some maintenance. You might experience short lived outages in the next couple of hours.

@davey_cakes I'll just put it this way. If #IOCX defeds from Threads I won't be upset 👀

Dear #IOCX Community!

Thank you very much for being awesome and making this place what it is - A cool and decent infosec community!

A big shout out to our mod team @cstromblad @troed @tellyworth - You guys rock!

Also, a quick reminder: If you can afford it and want to support this instance financially, please consider donating on our crowd funding page here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/iocx
(Our monthly hosting costs are around $600, which is much more than we currently receive in donations.)

Stay Safe and Have FUN!

Happy Friday #IOCX !

Don't forget: No threat hunting today!

Hey #IOCX is there any way to delay when a post gets published? So I don't create spam? :blobugh:

@MonsieurLu @Mastodon @Gargron Yeah we're getting flooded with reports here. #IOCX moderators are on top of it and suspend as soon as the reports come in.

Im really excited about having two new moderators joining us here at IOCX to keep the instance friendly, clean and a good place in the larger Fediverse.

Please welcome @troed and @tellyworth to the fam. Reach out if you have any issues whatsoever and we will be there to try and help.

Have a good week!

Dear #IOCX Community!

We have an opportunity to volunteer - Yay!!! @cstromblad and I are looking for another team member. Like many of you, we are typical #infosec professionals who have to extinguish fires from time to time, so we are hoping to improve our response time with a third team member.

The life of a #IOCX volunteer is not glamorous but you get to meet a ton of really cool people and can say that you help running one of the big infosec instances on the fedi.

Say Hi, if you want to learn more 👋🏻

@seb 25000 users and donations doesn't even reach half the hosting costs :(

(And 1.5 cents per user isn't high cost either at that - nicely scaled!)

I'll set up something recurring now.

Good Morning #IOCX Community!

Sorry for the hiccup with the expired cert. For some reason (I will investigate later) certbot only renewed the cert of the main site (ioc.exchange) and forgot about the cert for files.ioc.exchange.

It is now fixed. Thank you all for the helpful messages!

Dear #IOCX Community and broader #infosec community!

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of our dear friend @alaric

He was a passionate advocate for protecting the privacy of individuals and a fierce champion for diversity. He served as a moderator for our community and was a cornerstone of the #IOCX community in general.

RIP my dear friend!

Please consider supporting his wife and very young son Ari:

Was just reading the #IOCX financials. With ~25,000 people, there's zero way that the expenses shouldn't be covered by donations. That's barely 2 cents per person. Anyways, if you can help with the costs, reach out to @seb -- as this is easily one of the most chill and stable instances out there. #Please and thank you.
