Russia-experts in the US said to be receiving unwelcome attention from possible state intelligence services. Deterrence and confidence building measures remain works in progress in cyberspace. Ransomware and click-fraud combined in a single criminal campaign. Macs attacked by banking credential stealing malware. Johns Hopkins' Joe Carrigan reviews educational options for aspiring cyber security pros. Twitter bots driving traffic to dodgy adult sites.
