Podcast Episode 47: Staying Secure through Community Cooperation with GiveWP’s Matt Cromwell

At WordCamp Sacramento, Matt Cromwell from GiveWP talked with us about how Give began, their mission of democratizing generosity, and how they handled the vulnerability disclosure from the Wordfence team. When our security researchers reached out to provide a proof of concept, the Give and Wordfence teams worked together to ensure that the vulnerability was patched in the safest way possible. Matt also tells us how he got involved with WordPress and how he gives back to the community through the Advanced WordPress Facebook group with over 30,000 members.
