The crazy Trump-centric news cycle has become the new normal in the United States. So has the scenario of constant cybersecurity risks where it seems like there’s a new worrisome development every week, if not daily.
Just last week, Microsoft said it found more evidence of Russian government hacking efforts, including of conservative United States think tanks. Facebook, Twitter, and Google all announced that they took down accounts determined to be part of an Iranian influence campaign.
With the 2018 midterm elections fast approaching, National Security Adviser John Boltonwarned last weekend that he anticipated threats from China and North Korea on top of Russia and Iran. And the problem is hardly contained to the United States: The activities Facebook identified last week out of Iran and Russia were also aimed at the UK, Latin America, and the Middle East.
