Meeting
Chris & Mickey | Relay Scanner
Gist
Mickey Mellen walked Chris through the latest build of his relay scanner tool, which now tracks roughly 37,000 sites (11,500+ WordPress) for hacked/malicious code, missing security patches, and no-index issues, with tagging, outreach logging, and shareable client report links. They discussed lead generation angles including bulk business databases, restaurant groups with multiple sites, and partnering with IT companies and other agencies (Edge Agency, ID8) to white-label the scanning reports. Chris suggested UX improvements (copy-source and copy-malicious-code buttons, rethinking the risk score color scheme) and they briefly touched on the upcoming conference speaker card designs before Mickey had to jump to another call.

What came out of it
Risks and blockers4
- Some flagged 'malicious' sites turn out to be false positives requiring manual review via Claude
- Several churches and small businesses identified as needing help have no budget to pay for fixes
- A restaurant group owner known to be hacked is reluctant to spend money
- One IT contact declined to share client site addresses due to confidentiality concerns
Open questions3
- Where will the security field guide (96 pages) be printed?
- Whether Ally approved the speaker card designs for the conference
- Whether contact info can be found for the unresponsive Gwinnett Chamber lead (Optic USA)
Next steps5
- MeLog outreach attempts in the relay scanner tool by tagging contacts to avoid duplicate outreach
- VendorFollow up on the Gwinnett Chamber lead once a contact can be found
- VendorAdd copy-source and copy-malicious-code buttons to the scanner UI
- VendorFinish flowing the field guide text into InDesign for Ally to design
- MeContinue advertising and finalize speaker card designs for the conference
