There was something special about seeing young people come together to learn and create at YouthCamp during WordCamp Asia 2026. Their curiosity, energy, and ideas made it a memorable part of the event.

Schweizer Käse und die Sicherheit. 🤢
Ob es in Deutschland auch so viele Löcher in der Sicherheit gibt wie im Emmentaler?
Vermutlich ist es in Deutschland sehr ähnlich, denn die naiven Web-Designer lernen meist nicht dazu. Die Kunden "glauben" und wissen zu wenig. Eine Melange die nur einen Gewinner kennt.
Damit Kriminelle es nicht zu schwer haben:
"Laut diesen Daten laufen 16 Prozent aller Schweizer Domains auf Servern mit äusserst gefährlichen Schwachstellen. Dabei handelt es sich um Sicherheitslücken mit einem CVSS-Score von 9,0 oder höher. Das heisst: ein Angreifer könnte ohne Authentifizierung und ohne Benutzerinteraktion die vollständige Kontrolle über betroffene Systeme erlangen, wie Risikomonitor mitteilt."
Speziell #WordPress ist bei den naiven Nutzern sehr beliebt:
"Es stellt unter anderem fest, dass 12 Prozent aller gescannter Wordpress-Installationen seit längerem nicht mehr aktualisiert worden seien. Cyberkriminelle können diese Installationen etwa zum Verschicken von Spam missbrauchen."
Spart Zeit und Geld, leider nur bei den Kriminellen. 🔥

Contributor Day at WordCamp Asia 2026 brought people together from across the community to collaborate, connect, and contribute. From shared ideas to new friendships, it was a meaningful start to the week in Mumbai.

Made some housekeeping tweaks to my first officially-published WordPress plugin:
- Added a quick demo GIF to show what it does
- Renamed the plugin and updated the tags (hopefully clearer now)
The plugin is a little QoL addition to WP that I find invaluable. Would love to hear if anyone else finds it useful!
