Large databreach, how to minimize online vulnerabilities, and improve responsetime
Last week I found a data breach in a large companies website, exposing over 2 million customer records (name, address, email, phone number) It's always a though choice, do I call it in and risk getting sued, or leave it? Since this was quite a big leak, which I more or less stumbled upon (think in the lines of 'this looks odd, what happens if I try and change this') , I just went ahead and stated my intensions very clearly in my messages, and hoped they would see it would benefit them to use my report, and fix the problem as soon as possible.

ESP8266 & DHT22 Lowpower MQTT Sensor
For my project where I control my remote via pnps I want to create a low power sensor which will be able to send humidity & temperature data to my openhab server which is running mosquitto Since I have some esp8266 chips laying around, this would be great to setup as a wifi mqtt sensor with the dht22, which will periodically (every 10 minutes) send new sensor data to my mqtt broker. A quick video how to get a basic breadboard setup: I will need it to be pretty energy efficient, so whenever the esp is done sending data, it will go into deepsleep for 10 minutes, and then wakeup and send again...
