Tales from the wrong end
I'm the maintainer of a very popular open-source PHP package - PHPMailer. In December 2016, two critical vulnerabilities were found in PHPMailer, affecting potentially millions of sites. I'd been involved in reporting minor security issues in the past, but nothing of this magnitude, and never at the receiving end. I found myself at the start of a steep learning curve and an emotional roller-coaster; a story of open source, CVEs, and people.

I work on smartmessages.net and clubzero.co, support 1CRM, and pentest and write for Radically Open Security. I'm the maintainer of PHPMailer (the second-most forked PHP project on GitHub!) and contribute to many other open-source projects. I'm a PHP developer, privacy advocate, DPO, Linux sysadmin, technical writer/editor, MySQL DBA, and the author of "The HTTP/3 book". I've spoken at many conferences around the world. I live in the French alps with my wife, kids, guitars, skis, and bikes.
