Anderson, who has repeatedly declared her love for Assange, told The View panel that Assange’s health is “really deteriorating” since he was booted from the Ecuadorian embassy and imprisoned on conspiracy charges.  “It’s devastating that people have fallen for this smear campaign especially in America,” she added. “I feel like an outsider looking in, looking at how America has embraced all this—this propaganda.” Read more at The Daily Beast.

intelligence-news.com: What Does Good Cyber Resilience Look Like in 2019?

http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SecurityIntelligence/~4/Fs4vkVo49AU The Greek philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus once said, “πάντα χωρεῖ καὶ οὐδὲν μένει.” If you’re getting the blue screen feeling, it’s probably because that’s Greek to you. Here’s the translation: “Everything changes and nothing stands still.” While that quote was said 2,500 years ago, you wouldn’t be faulted for feeling it describes today’s state of cybersecurity. Most security professionals know they live in a constant state of flux. Some new tactic or piece of threat intelligence can change an entire protective strategy, meaning that if your cyber resilience planning isn’t keeping up with the latest trends, you may find yourself, post-incident, looking up some Plato, who said, “Good people […] https://is.gd/BAdGzr

https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xp-worm-800x450.jpg Enlarge (credit: Aurich Lawson) For months, security practitioners have worried about the public release of attack code exploiting BlueKeep, the critical vulnerability in older versions of Microsoft Windows that’s “wormable,” meaning it can spread from computer to computer the way the WannaCry worm did two years ago. On Friday, that dreaded day arrived when the Metasploit framework—an open source tool used by white hat and black hat hackers alike—released just such an exploit into the wild. The module, which was published as a work in progress on Github, doesn’t yet have the polish and reliability of the EternalBlue exploit that was developed by the NSA and later used in […] https://is.gd/Ovfu5z

The death of the American — the fourth U.S. service member killed in the past two weeks in Afghanistan — could be used to argue that it is long past time to bring U.S. troops home.
