It’s Sunday. Almost midnight.
My team has been coding all day.
We just closed a series of vulnerabilities.
Here’s what happened: attackers used social engineering - getting hired into our clients’ teams, then exploiting software vulnerabilities to escalate their own privileges within the system. We stay on top of everything - monitoring, reacting, closing gaps fast.
Yesterday they tried again. We saw it. They got nowhere.
Some people might think we ignore these things. We don’t. For the past four months - every single time something happens, we react, we fix it, we close the gap.
This is not a one-day battle. They push. We defend. Every time.
Today one of our own clients flagged another vulnerability. We paid them for it and we’re closing it right now. That’s the kind of relationship we want - if you find something, tell us. We pay for it. No questions asked.
Four months of non-stop pressure. Lawsuits. Cyberattacks. Black PR. Spam to our clients. Scammers. Emotional and financial pressure. Everything at once. I think someone believed we’d break easily.
We started almost three years ago. No investors. No outside capital. Every dollar earned goes back into the product. Today we’re in the top 2 in our market (out of 10+)
We didn’t get here by being fragile.
This is part of growing up as a company. Every serious product goes through this. You don’t get attacked if nobody cares about you.
One more thing - and this applies to every business, not just ours. Classic hacking is nearly dead. Almost 100% of attacks today start with social engineering - someone earns your trust first, gets inside, then looks for a vulnerability to exploit. Without that first step, most vulnerabilities are unreachable.
The weakest point is never the software. It’s the people around it.
Be careful who you talk to. Be careful who you hire. Be careful who you trust.
To my team working tonight - I see you, and I’m proud of you.
