Hey all! To keep aware of security issues, what mailing lists are out there? Are there any hosting related security mailing lists? Thanks!

You mean, you want to send spam email?

What software packages are you using such as cpanel, cloudlinux, etc. The first thing to so is subscribe to all the mailing lists for software you use on your servers. Then other ones such as for PHP, Apache would be good

Um no. I think you totally misunderstood what I was saying.

Thanks both of you, great ideas :-). I'm on the cPanel, and CloudLinux mailing lists. I was looking for some more general ones, even if it's not necessarily products I use, I still like to keep aware of other issues. I was a little annoyed to find out about the WHMCS issue from another vendor instead of WHMCS directly. So, I'm trying to be a little bit more proactive on receiving news and alerts pertaining to the hosting industry. To the other responder above, I'm not looking for lists that I can email to, I'm just looking for email lists that I can get news and alerts on. I just want to be more aware about things going on in our industry. I don't frequent WHT like I used to, but I'm going to start being more active around these parts again :-)

What you're doing is a good idea. If only more people subscribed to mailing lists, there would be a lot less hacking/intrusions taking place if people could update their software more quickly as a result of getting notified.

Exactly. It takes all of 1-2 minutes to skim through them once a day.

Ok, I've got something that may be of some help: http://www.hostingspeak.com/mailman/...stingspeak.com I've created a mailing list for security issues. My goal with this list, I'd like one list that as hosting providers we can sign up to get alerts on many different things. I'm hoping that other people will jump in to contribute as well.
