    “Secure by design” is shifting from vision to standard. I note progress: &amp;gt;50% of apps now pass OWASP Top 10 checks (up from &amp;lt;33% in 2020) and exploitable flaws dropped from 3.6% to 2.6%. But 70% of apps still have major flaws—true success means making security part of every build, not an afterthought. https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbestechcouncil/2025/11/10/advancing-secure-by-design-from-ambition-to-industry-standard/

    Before bug bounties, before root shells, before the word hacker meant anything at all there was a blind kid who whistled 2600 Hz and bent Ma Bell to his will. Joybubbles tells the story of Joe Engressi, the original phone phreak and a reminder that hacking started as curiosity, play, and defiance.
