How comes OWASP, which is a community focused on improving the security of application software into the field of micro-financing?

Ask James McGovern, who is a prominent member of both OWASP and Kiva, the micro-lending website. Well, one point of connection is the obvious, if you are a website dabbling into financial stuffs you need security.

The other is the OWASP Lender Team, started by James, which I have joined back in September.

Now I ask you, yes you, to check out Kiva, and if you think you can afford the luxury of lending a few bucks to someone who really needs it, do it. And if you are interested in software security, join OWASP, both on Kiva and on the OWASP website.
