US ’orchestrated’ Russian spies scandal, says Kaspersky founder
Eugene Kaspersky, chief executive and co-founder of the embattled Russian cybersecurity firm that bears his name, believes his company is at the centre of a designed and orchestrated attack to destroy its reputation.
Over a short period in the summer of 2017, Kaspersky Labs was the subject of multiple media reports alleging that the company had helped Russian intelligence agencies spy on the US, a number of FBI raids on staff members, and a nationwide ban on the use of its software by federal government agencies.

PSA: If You Upgrade to macOS High Sierra 10.13.1, You’ll Need to Reinstall Apple’s Root Security Fix
Mac owners who are still running macOS High Sierra 10.13 and who have already installed Apple’s root security fix on that version of the operating system will need to install it once again upon upgrading to macOS 10.13.1, reports Wired.
Security researchers running a patched version of the original macOS High Sierra update, 10.13.0, told Wired that the root bug was reintroduced upon installing the macOS 10.13.1 update. After updating, they needed to install Apple’s security patch again. Even that didn’t fix the issue until their machines were rebooted.

Once again, Twitter finds itself between a rock and a far-right place.
Donald Trumps retweeting of Britain First’s Jayda Fransen on Wednesday was a truly shocking moment. The British Prime Minister said it was ”wrong”. It contributed, as one US news site put it, to Trump’s ”darkest day” as President.
Yet as Wednesday rolled into Thursday, the leader of the free world retweeting a far-right organisation became just another frightful part of what we apparently refer to as the ”new normal”.
