What issue are you seeing?

I keep being flagged as a cyber security risk for collecting public data- often at the behest of state/federal government agencies.

Uploaded thread: 019dd9f5-35cd-71e1-9843-ff504831ad0a

TL;DR

Review and adjust the data collection process to ensure it complies with security policies and guidelines to minimize false security flags.

Guidance

  • Investigate the specific security flags being triggered to understand the cause of the issue.
  • Verify that the data being collected is indeed public and not violating any privacy or security regulations.
  • Consider consulting with state/federal government agencies to clarify their requirements and ensure compliance.
  • Review the Codex CLI documentation to see if there are any settings or configurations that can be adjusted to reduce false security flags.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the data collection process and security flags, but without more information about the specific flags and the data being collected, it's difficult to provide a more detailed solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust the data collection process to comply with security policies and guidelines, as it's likely that the current process is triggering false security flags.
