1) Word From Secunia:

Secunia PSI now available in 42 languages!

100 days ago, Secunia CEO Niels Henrik Rasmussen promised "40 languages
in 100 days" for the Secunia PSI. Since this day Secunia as well as
members of the Secunia PSI community have been working hard to keep the
promise. We would like to extend our gratitude, not only to the many
translators that made this possible, but also to the many requests we
had to turn down because the translation of their language already was
in progress.
