Today's Story Highlights

The Internet of Medical Things, Part 2: Devices and Apps
Concerns have been multiplying in the United States over the creaks of a
medical infrastructure that's bearing the weight of an aging population.
Current and upcoming members of the over-65 club are helping to drive a
new age in healthcare, in which devices connect patients with
caregivers, things get even smarter, and machines get even better at
learning what sensors are saying.

US Pummels ISIS in Online Combat
The U.S. government's campaign to counter ISIS' social media presence is
bearing fruit. More anti-ISIS content than pro-ISIS content is appearing
on the Net by a ratio of six to one. Twitter traffic for accounts
affiliated with the Islamic State is down by 45 percent compared to two
years ago, and the average number of followers for an ISIS account has
plunged to 300 from 1,500 in 2014.

Parsing the Clinton Email Scandal
I've been watching the Clinton email scandal closely, because I not only
have been in and out of law enforcement and security for much of my
early life, but also was an internal auditor for IBM and one of the
leading email experts in the 1990s. I think this is the only time I've
seen an investigator channel a prosecutor and give someone a pass
without addressing why crimes were committed.

Augmented Reality Mobile Game Puts Pokemon in Real World
Pokemon Go , the highly anticipated augmented reality game from Niantic
Labs, is finally available for download for iOS and Android mobile
devices in the U.S., as well as in New Zealand and Australia. Niantic,
the former Google unit behind the popular augmented reality game Ingress
, has teamed up with The Pokemon Company and Nintendo to bring the
iconic Pokemon title to mobile platforms.

HandyLinux Is a Great Toolbox for Linux Newbies
HandyLinux is a distro that offers a simplified approach to using the
Linux desktop operating system. HandyLinux first appeared about three
years ago. The latest version, 2.5, was released in early June. The
developers make it easy to peel off the "Handy" layers to reveal a more
standard Linux environment as users learn the system. Those who no
longer need the IT tools included with the initial installation can
remove them easily.

Mobile Ransomware Has Mushroomed: Report
The number of mobile ransomware victims across the globe has increased
fourfold compared to a year ago, suggests a Kaspersky Lab report.
Kaspersky software protected 136,532 users targeted by ransomware from
April 2015 to March 2016 -- up from 35,413. "The growth curve may be
less than that seen for PC ransomware, but it is still significant
enough to confirm a worrying trend," the report notes.
