I am normally a pretty strong believer in YGWYPF[1] but the Dorkbot service blows that out of the water. Cam and crew 
have an incredibly valuable tool that they're sharing with the higher ed community. Thanks, Cam!

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.
