Crime Pays: Ransomware Bosses Make $90K Annually
If crime doesn't pay, Russian ransomware bosses wouldn't know it. The average Russian ransomware boss makes $90,000 a year -- or 13 times the average income for citizens in the country who stick to the "straight and narrow," according to a recent Flashpoint study. What does a ransomware honcho do for those rubles? Basically, the job calls for supporting and maintaining the malware. [More...]

only logos for publishers or events on those sites. Publishers now can
include an image and a headline to promote each day's story.

Microsoft and LinkedIn Go All In
Microsoft on Monday announced an agreement to buy LinkedIn, the world's
largest professional social media network, for $26.2 billion in cash.

cloud services. The companies jointly announced the deal.

Can Huawei Overtake Apple and Samsung?
Huawei says it is working hard to overtake Apple's iPhone and Samsung's
Galaxy line in the worldwide smartphone market. If you were to ask
anyone over the last eight years if that were possible, you would have
heard a resounding "no." The marketplace is changing, though, and
anything is now possible. Today Apple, Google and Samsung are enormous,
but the rate of smartphone growth has slowed.
