We certainly find it valuable. Unlike some commercial alert providers, every UT Dorkbot alert points to a verified 
public-facing vulnerability. The web folks have learned to take these alerts seriously.

Thanks for all you do!

Subject: [SECURITY] Summary Report :: Dorkbot Service [JUN 2021-06]

Howdy all —

I wanted to share summary stats from the Dorkbot web application security service for Jun-2021.
Before I get into the details - can I get some feedback as to whether or not the community is still getting value from 
this service?
It is a bit over 4-years old and I just wanted to ask.
