Right, here we go …
I’ve got a long weekend ahead!
Officially?
I’m on a 12-10, today, and a 10-5, tomorrow.
You can bet what-ever body-part you have spare?
That I’m not going to a lot of sleep!

Hmmm …
I tend to take an interest in technology news.
But am very aware that security researcher, Marcus Hutchins, has been arrested: on charges of making and distributing malicious software.
Whilst at the Def Con security conference.
Apparently, he’s admitted that he’s created software capable of stealing bank account details.

There’s possibly a lot to say, there.
From the little I know? From the little I know, most cyber-security researchers spend time in some very strange places: in order to find out how malicious hackers work.
And that they ALSO write malicious software: they kind of have to, to understand how it works, and used.
Personally?
I’m thinking the USA has made one heck of a mistake,
Especially as Hutchins is the man who single-handedly stopped the WannCry ransomware.
Go figure!
