3 months ago, our newly 'reborn' ezine was a completely new experience to our small team and we didn't expect it to have a lot of followers considering its absence for many years. But to our surprise, we received over 20K downloads just weeks after its re-launch! Despite all this, there are still many things for us to work on and improve upon. Our team is still working hard to make sure our ezine will not only become a resource our readers love to read, but also something they would like to keep. Our promise is that every issue will have something unique to offer. You can be a CSO or a hardcore security geek, we're confident our content offers something for everyone.
For the second issue, all the articles are now in high resolution. We hope by doing this it will increase the quality and and clarity of the materials. In addition, the articles are now organized into their respective sections and the code listings in them have been improved and are now easier to read. Also, a new "Interviews" section has been added and for this issue, we have interviewed two well known experts from France for their thoughts on the state of computer security.
Finally, we are always looking for feedback from our readers. It's very important for us to know how we can improve in terms of content and design. Please feel free to drop us an email if you have some constructive feedback or ideas that will help us to raise the bar even higher.
See you in the summer (Issue 003 will be released at HITBSecConf2010 - Amsterdam)

NYC Transit officials vowed a swift crackdown Sunday on illegal master subway keys that let fare-beaters ride the rails free.
Straphangers and elected officials fumed over the "shocking" security breach exposed in Sunday's Daily News, which reported copies of the keys have made it into criminal hands.
"It's mind-boggling!" said City Council Transportation Committee Chairman James Vacca (D-Bronx), who said he would grill transit honchos when they come before his committee next week.
"This could be a major security problem if these keys get into the wrong hands," Vacca said,
They already have, The News's exclusive report found.
The keys are supposed to go only to police, firefighters and authorized MTA workers to let them enter the subway through emergency gates - but illegal copies have been circulating among fare-beaters.
A News reporter was able to enter stations around the city with a key from a man who said he paid $27 for it.
