Reason[edit]
In the future a theoretical situation might arise that requires users to be notified about a critical security vulnerability, for example: "A severe vulnerability in APT is being actively exploited by Tor exit relays against random users. Stop using APT until there is a solution." Therefore, a reliable mechanism is needed to quickly notify as many users as possible.
Debian Security Announcements[edit]
Since Kicksecure is based on Debian, users should consider subscribing to the Debian security announcement mailing list to stay informed about the latest security advisories. See also chapter Debian Security Announcements.
Operating System Updates[edit]
As strongly recommended in the Security Guide, it is necessary to regularly check for operating system updates on the host operating system, and both the Kicksecure and Kicksecure.
Social Media Profiles[edit]
There are some Official Kicksecure Social Media Profiles online, but please do not rely on them for the latest Kicksecure News or to contact Kicksecure developers (see support and contact).
As some users will disregard this advice, messages from the Kicksecure Feature Blog are most times posted on
Kicksecure Telegram News Channel
, 
Kicksecure Twitter Profile and the 
Kicksecure Facebook Profile. However, they are most times not mirrored to other Kicksecure social media profiles.

Source Code[edit]
If Kicksecure source code updates are of interest, subscribe to code changes.
Kicksecure Repository Testers[edit]
Kicksecure requires a critical mass of users to properly test planned updates by enabling the stable-proposed-updates or testers repository. [2] Otherwise, bugs might go undiscovered and be inadvertently introduced into the stable repository.
To ensure a stable Kicksecure system is available at all times, willing testers should:
- Create new Kicksecure and Kicksecure Templates solely for testing.
- Enable the
stable-proposed-updatesortestersrepository via the Derivative Repository Tool.
Then perform normal user activities.
Please only report bugs after first searching relevant Kicksecure forums and developer portals for the problem. (Please Use Search Engines And See Documentation First)
