Today's Story Highlights

Russians Pose as Americans to Steal Data on Social Media
Americans have been targeted on social media by Russian agents on a
mission to harvest personal information. The agents pretended to work
for organizations promoting African-American businesses as a ruse to
obtain personal information from black business owners during the 2016
presidential election campaign. Using names like "BlackMattersUS," the
agents set up hundreds of social media accounts.

NICE Alliance Aims to Get Smart Cameras to Play Well Together
Sony Semiconductor Solutions, Nikon, Foxconn, Scenera and Wistron have
formed an alliance to create standards that allow surveillance and IP
cameras to play well with each other. The NICE Alliance, unveiled
Monday, aims to create a new smart camera ecosystem, along the lines of
the mobile ecosystems that have become so familiar. The "NICE" acronym
stands for "Network of Intelligent Camera Ecosystem."

Kali Linux Security App Lands in Microsoft Store
Kali Linux, a penetration testing app from Offensive Security, has
become available in the Microsoft Store. Windows 10 users can download
and install the Kali Linux app onto the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
Microsoft last summer announced that WSL, which makes it possible to run
operating systems like Ubuntu, would become a fully supported part of
the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.

Facebook Under Fire for Bizarre Child Predator Survey Question
Facebook has come under fire after posing a survey question on how it
should deal with predatory sexual behavior against children over the
weekend. Survey participants were asked whether sexual predators should
be allowed to request photographic images from 14-year-old girls online.
Further, users were queried about how Facebook should handle such a
request if it learned about it.
