Today's Story Highlights

Will Consumers Balk at 5G Phone Prices?
Consumers could suffer from sticker shock when it comes time to buy a
5G-enabled phone, suggests a new report from IHS Markit, based on a poll
conducted in the U.S. Although consumers expect to pay more money for 5G
smartphones, the prices may exceed their expectations dramatically, with
some devices selling for as much as 29 times more than what the average
buyer might anticipate.

Major Browsers Block Kazakhstan Government's Fake Safety Cert
Google, Mozilla and Apple have blocked a fake root certificate issued by
Kazakhstan's government to spy on its citizens' online activities. The
government provided separate installation instructions for Android, iOS,
Chrome, Firefox, and IE Web browsers. When those who installed the
certificate attempt to access website using Chrome, Firefox or Safari,
they now will see an error message.

Fighting Cybercrime: Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics Are the New A-Team
Cybersecurity and digital forensics are instrumental in creating
effective defense, analysis and investigation of cybercrime. While both
focus on the protection of digital assets, they come at it from two
different angles. Digital forensics deals with the aftermath of the
incident in an investigatory role, whereas, cybersecurity is more
focused on the prevention and detection of attacks.
