After we witnessed instances of online abuse targeted at women of color on our staff and experienced a sophisticated hacking attempt on our main Slack account, we knew we needed to provide better online security training for our newsroom.
These attacks were not terribly malicious or dangerous, but they were enough to, frankly, creep us out. We realized we needed to be better prepared before anyone on our team experienced abuse more threatening. In addition, we knew from our staff that mental health was a major concern and know that online abuse contributes to poor mental health.
