"Event" v. "Incident"

Parent article: The top open-source security events in 2024

Minor nitpick: Event tends to suggest conferences and other social ... events. But then the first sentence in the article makes it clear this is not about social gettogethers at all, but instead open source security problems. I'm willing to bet I'm not the only one that's going to look at the headline with puzzlement as there's only a few security related open source conferences every year.

I mean, it's not *wrong*, but the context of "event" equating to "incident" or "problem" won't be the first one some will consider.

same, thought it was a list of security conferences, and wondered why this was a subscriber only article.

Suggest s/events/incidents/ in the title to fix the issue.
