I restructured the project page at Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer security to feature specific todo items, clarify scope, and hide some outdated material. To @DanielPharos or any other members who might still have an eye on things, I’m interested in thoughts, suggestions, and objections. Dreamyshade (talk) 21:55, 14 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

A few suggestions:

• The article at hacker has an awkward relationship with security hacker and needs a rewrite – see discussion at Talk:Hacker#Structure
• Computer security gets a lot of views but is not in good shape as a whole; the United States section is outdated
• Social engineering (security) – “Countermeasures” section needs expansion
• Login needs citations and is very short, which provides a good opportunity to integrate material about authentication and authorization, MFA, passkeys, cookies, and related topics in a plain language way
• Password manager needs material about benefits to balance out the emphasis on vulnerabilities; tagged as needing citations since 2013
• Onion routing – tagged as outdated since 2017
• Cryptographic nonce – tagged as needing citations since 2013
• Keychain (software) – also tagged as needing citations since 2013
• Bytecode – tagged as needing citations since 2009
• Pop-up ad – tagged as needing citations since 2008

I would add that the “hacker has an awkward relationship with security hacker” should probably also include Black hat (computer security), and possibly even Threat actor. I’d also be inclinded to remove bytecode from the security project (and indeed, pop-up ad) Joe (talk) 12:28, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
