We've published our first security advisory. During a routine investigation into monitoring alerts, we discovered an unauthenticated SSRF vulnerability in the 66Uptime ping servers plugin that could expose cloud credentials, internal networks, and more.

The vulnerability has been patched by the developer, but upgrading alone isn't enough. API keys must be configured manually to be protected.

Full details, timeline, and remediation steps: https://www.glimmernet.com/security/gt-2026-001-ssrf-66uptime-ping-servers/

If you're running 66Uptime with remote ping servers, please read this.

Unauthenticated SSRF in the 66Uptime ping servers plugin enables cloud credential theft, internal network scanning, and arbitrary requests from affected servers

"Funding democracy... one dollar at a time."
Same time tomorrow. And the next day. And the next.

If your slogan needs backup, it's time to audit your marketing.

On , we think about why the internet matters in the first place.

Information should never be gatekept. A parent researching a diagnosis at midnight, a community without access to a doctor, someone in a rural area trying to understand their options — they all deserve the same access to reliable, accurate health information as everyone else.

Science works across borders. So should the information it produces.

That's why we care deeply about keeping websites up, content accessible, and information flowing to the people who need it most.

Together for health. Stand with science.

"Building champions... one bucket at a time."

One basket. Cut down the nets.

If your slogan only lasts two points, your marketing needs an upset.

It's been a busy week in the WordPress world.

WordPress released version 6.9.2 — a security update patching 10 vulnerabilities. Same day, they had to release 6.9.3 to fix issues that the security update itself caused on some sites. And today, they released 6.9.4 to finish applying security fixes that weren't fully completed in 6.9.2.

Managing WordPress sites at scale means weeks like this come with the territory. We're glad to report that none of our clients' sites were impacted by the crashes. Our team has stayed on top of all three updates, and our security scanning has been running continuously throughout.

This is exactly why proactive WordPress management matters. Three rounds of core updates in one week is a lot — but when you have the right systems and team in place, your site never has to feel it.

"Gaslighting your body... one hour at a time."

It's not that bad. It's one hour. Everyone will adjust.
(Nobody adjusts.)

If your slogan has to be debated in Congress, your marketing lost an hour it didn't have.

If you've ever thought about building an online directory, a membership site, or any kind of community platform, read this first.

We just published a deep dive into something nobody talks about: what happens when you become the arbiter of who gets listed and who doesn't.

Spoiler: it gets complicated fast.

You'll deal with contradictory complaints (one person says "too salty," another says "needs salt"), skewed data (unhappy people complain, happy people stay quiet), legal exposure, and social fallout.

But here's the thing: we still think you should build it. You just need to go in with clear eyes and the right policies.
