  4. Facial Recognition at a Taylor Swift Concert Raises Privacy Concerns

  8. Patch New IoT Devices Fast, Researchers Warn, or They’ll be in a Botnet

    "For some time threat actors who create Internet of Things-based botnets have been relying on brute force attacks to take control of and build chains of devices for delivering malware or distributed denial of service attacks." (via itworldcanada.com)
