Today's Story Highlights

Get Serious About Cybersecurity: Take Ownership of Your Personal Data
October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month, and one of the
prongs in the three-part theme is for all computer users to "Own IT."
This means staying safe on social media, updating privacy settings, and
keeping tabs on apps. Simply put, users need to take better ownership of
their data and their online presence as part of daily safe cyber
practices.

New Surface Line Makes the Earth Move for Microsoft Fans
Microsoft has launched a slew of new devices designed to reshape the
world: the Surface Laptop 3, the Surface Pro 7, the Surface Pro X,
Surface Earbuds, and the upcoming Surface Neo and Surface Duo. "The next
decade will be about creation, and amplifying what we can do as humans,"
said Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella at Microsoft Surface 2019 in New York
City.

Two eGobbler malvertising exploits impacted 1.16 billion programmatic
ads between Aug. 1 and Sept. 23, according to Confiant, which has been
tracking the threat. The first targeted versions of Chrome prior to
Chrome 75 on iOS. The flaw was fixed in the Chrome 75 rollout June 4. he
second exploit impacted WebKit-based browsers. Confiant reported it to

Congress Eyes Google's Chrome Encryption Plans
Google's plans to test an encrypted Internet DNS protocol reportedly
have spurred some members of Congress to consider opening an antitrust
investigation. They are concerned that the new technology could give
Google an edge over competitors by making it harder for them to access
consumer data. Google is experimenting with new ways to enhance online
privacy.

A Peek at Our Wireless Future
Last week I attended a Qualcomm event that took me through the coming
wave of both 5G and WiFi 6 products, touched on the millimeter wave, and
at least spoke to 6G. From this I think I can begin to picture the world
as it will exist by the middle of the next decade, and it is kind of
fascinating. Qualcomm has spent nearly $50B -- yes billion -- advancing
its wireless initiatives.
